lyrics

Lover, where have you been? I never thought I'd see you again, but here you are right before my eyes.
I searched for you on mountains high in valley's low and by and by I prayed for you to be by my side.
Won't you lay my fears to rest? Can you find the good that's buried in this mess?
I'm at my best. This is my best.

I chased you in the forest dark, where no light can be found beneath the trees.
I lost you in the fog one night the darkness overtook my sight and you vanished right before my eyes.
Is there forgiveness to be found? Won't you allow these arms to hold you safe and sound?
I need you now.

Is there forgiveness to be found? Won't you allow these arms to hold you safe and sound?
Won't you lay my fears to rest? Can you find the good that's buried in this mess?

I'm at my best. This is my best, when I'm with you, I'm at my best.
