Wood Nymph
Searching
I have been chasing my tomorrows,
And today just slipped away.
I find myself thinking
About memories of yesterday.
I think of days that have been hard,
And I try to understand.
Why the trials that I have known?
Why the life that I have had?
I've seen dewdrops on the roses
In each drop there lives a dream.
The sun will dry the dewdrops,
But tomorrow will come again.
Now I lay me down to sleep
And dream of what it has cost
To search for something all my life-
To find that they all are lost.
And today just slipped away.
I find myself thinking
About memories of yesterday.
I think of days that have been hard,
And I try to understand.
Why the trials that I have known?
Why the life that I have had?
I've seen dewdrops on the roses
In each drop there lives a dream.
The sun will dry the dewdrops,
But tomorrow will come again.
Now I lay me down to sleep
And dream of what it has cost
To search for something all my life-
To find that they all are lost.
