I Tried in the Night – Down Past the Fountains

LYRICS ::

Thunder crashed as I hurried down the street
With my hands in my pockets, the wind blew hard
Still, I knew deep in my heart
My feelings for you, I could not hide or cheat

I cuddled in my coat as the moon above me shone
And I stood in solemn resolution
Beyond me had stood your love’s revolution,
But I’d tossed my love to the wind like you throw a stone

& no matter what I said,
Oh, I could not hide
From all the feelings
I felt deep inside
So I tried in the night,
& I searched the whole world
& I ended up right back
To where I’d begun

My mind was made up & fate was set
I tried to stand but I found myself falling into your love
Closer & closer to my soul’s freedom
& love’s first look, I could never regret

I came in from the storm, wet, wet & cold
Away from the wind & the pelting hail
The wind had carried me to you like it leads a sail
Back to your arms’ comforting hold

& no matter what I said,
Oh, I could not hide
From all the feelings
I felt deep inside
So I tried in the night,
& I searched the whole world
& I ended up right back
To where I’d begun

So I tried in the night,
& I searched the whole world
& I ended up right back
To where I’d begun

Your loving arms
Your loving arms
Your loving arms
