[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
In Santa Barbara on Hanukkah
