POETS, PHILOSOPHERS AND MYSTICS

Seems like a mystery
Where did it go
And how did it leave so fast
When it came so slow
Sometimes the reason's clear -
An act of disgrace
But this time it left
Without a trace

I've found some memories
Sweet cries of lust
And one or two promises
Left scattered in the dust
I know there's no guarantee
Which one will grow
But now that it's gone
I need to know
Where does love go

Poets, philosophers and mystics
Are always searching for our soul
But I seek a mystery quite different -
The power to light love's fire
When it's gone cold, so cold

I feel your arms around me
When lovers embrace
I see your eyes, I watch you smile
I touch your face
I hear your whispers in my bed
Smell your scent
If I can find your love again I know
I'll never let go

Poets, philosophers and mystics
Are always searching for our soul
But I seek a mystery quite different -
The power to light love's fire
When it's gone cold, so cold

Seems like a mystery
Where did it go
I thought for sure this one
Was meant for growing old
And I'm not ashamed to say
I'd crawl a million miles
If I could find your love again and know
That you'd never go

Poets, philosophers and mystics
Are always searching for our soul
But I seek a mystery quite different -
The power to light love's fire
When it's gone cold, so cold
