Santa Barbara

[Verse 1]

All my life has been a surprise

Faces cast in gold on the fire

Phantoms colloquial and new

Feelings inside floating through you

[Verse 2]

All my life leads me to die

Now Sherlock and Watson decide

On a true mystery of the mind

One Arthur Doyle would cease to write

[Chorus]

Oh, my love, I’m lost again

Though I try, when will I win?

You say life's not a race

But if you're not around

[Verse 3]

All this time has been wasted to find

The darkness triumphed over light

Is the creator on my side?

Or has he left us all behind?

[Chorus]

Oh, my love, I’m lost again

Though I try, when will I win?

You say life's not a race

But if you're not around

[Verse 4]

All this life has been a disguise

Except for the hand in mine

Belonging to my one true love
