Oh, when  my darkest thoughts  overtake me
and my mind wanders back
over  the nameless years
of my life
Oh, how I consider
how my life is spent
and how worry has worn me away
in my endless quest to make you mine.
Oh, the walls are high
and the way is steep
and oh the thorns they grow!
Oh, all the obstacles
that seem to block my way!
As though the world
seeks  to slay me
before I find you my love
to hold you forever in my arms.
Oh, but I know
you are ever as pure and true
like the north star
to ever shine your guiding light
within my heart.
Oh, though the rage
of the storms upon this sea
and the waves threaten
to engulf me
I shall ever seek the fortune
of my soul
on that dark and rolling sea
till my heart finds your heart
and forever we shall be.
Oh, you are the angel
that holds me in the palm of your hand
and to you
my heart shall ever belong.
