All Through The Night

all through the night my heart was in flight
and my thoughts like a windmill turning
windswept and tossed like dreams somehow lost
that my heart was determined to find

all through the night I hoped that I might
find the source of my sleepless yearning
pushing at doors to lead to the cause
of such restlessness here in my heart

all through the night I strove for clear sight
with my eyes and my heart discerning
sweet mystery, come nearer to me
as I float on the brink of a dream

draw back the curtain !
show me for certain !
tell me the answer, do !

then clear and bright
shone dawn's early light
and I knew that the answer was you !
