Impossible Task Songtext

von Stevie Nicks

When I look at you, I see me
Faceless, persuasive...
Whoa Lily, where have you gone?
Oh Lily, what have you done?
Beautiful as you are,
We aren't ageless
Oh yes, it's sad,
When you've never even known me

You would say that this is
An impossible task...
But I must go on searching
"So search until you die,"
Says the man I love...
"Search until you drop...
I love your independent soul
And I know how much she means to you...
I know..."

"I just have no more strength,"
She says..."I should come home now"
Bring your tears to me back...oh yes, Lily
And she says, "But that baby...
Oh where has she gone?
I promised her mother I would find her
And I have failed her..."

And Lily's voice...
I thought that I could never cry
No matter what the price...
I knew I'd found the prize
There you were...
In all his glory...he says,
"Go on, search...drop...die...
You'll never find her"
Oh, Lily...
Hour after hour
Contradictory to sensitivity
Well, I would see this thing through
I would find this baby
She was not my first one...
But he was my last one
Oh, I'll come back...when I can

Don't you need more...
Don't you need more of you and me?
And a lady walks up to him and says,
"I'm leaving again"
Separation once more...
Ooh, yes, it's not the saddest
Like you've never seen me
It's an impossible task
But I must go on searching...
"So search until you die,"
Says the man that I love...
