Aching heart and rattled mind,  
I seek a friend, and few I find  
With open hearts and willing soul  
  
I remember times of old  
When love was easy, love was kind  
And we were friends, all lives entwined  
And we could live our lives half-blind  
  
It behooves me yet, to see  
That you're yet coming back at me  
That you're yet coming hard and fast  
That you yet want some love to last  
  
When you cannot begin to know  
That it's not lust that lets love grow  
That it's not ours to find and search  
When we're not left on that high perch
