We used to walk down on the beach

Talk about our faith in mankind

But one thing lay beyond her reach:

Why is peace of mind so hard to find?

 

She tried to live like a hermit

Serene despite the cruel march of time        

She finally gave up on it

Why is peace of mind so hard to find?

 

Will you still love me when I’m past my prime?

She’d ask me with a sad smile

Will you still sing to me your heartwarming lullabies?

Why is peace of mind so hard to find?

 

For years she traveled far away

Musing over what she’d left behind

Then she came back to me one day:

Why is peace on earth so hard to find?

 

Will you still love me when I’m past my prime?

She’d ask me with a sad smile

Will you still sing to me your heartwarming lullabies?

Why is peace of mind

So hard to find?

Why is peace of mind

So hard to find?…

 

We used to walk down on the beach

And probe into the heavens for some sign

Will you dance with me cheek to cheek?

Why is peace of mind so hard to find?
