A friend came up to me one day,

While I was searching life away.

No sooner had I done much more,

Than they asked what I was searching for.

And to their question, I replied:

That which I cannot find.

Again they passed me by one day,

While I was searching life away.

No sooner had I done much more,

Than they asked what I was searching for.

And to their question, I replied:

That which I cannot find.

My friend came up to me one day,

While I was idling life away.

No sooner had I done much more,

Than they asked what I'd been searching for.

And to their question, I replied:

That which I could not find.
