Impossible Task

[Verse 1]

When I look at you, I see me

Faceless, persuasive

Woah, Lily, where have you gone?

Oh, Lily, what have you done?

Beautiful as you are, we aren't ageless

Oh, yes, it's sad, you've never even known me

[Chorus]

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"

[Verse 2]

"I just have no more strength" she says

"I should come home now"

Bring your tears to me back

Oh, yes, Lily

And she said, "But that baby...

Oh, where has she gone?

I promised her mother I would find her

And I have failed her"

[Verse 3]

And Lily's voice...

I thought that I could never cry

No matter what the price

I knew I'd found the prize

There he was in all his glory

He said, "Go on, search, drop, die

You'll never find her"

Oh, Lily, hour after hour

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Don't you need more?

Don't you need more of you and me?

And then Lily walks up to him

And says "I'm leaving again"

Seperation once more

Ooh, yes, is it not the saddest?

Like you've never seen me

[Chorus]

It's an impossible task

But I must go on searching

"So search until you die" says the man I love...
