On the day, you take the life i keep
Take me in my sleep, while i'm counting sheep
In the deepest dreams of butterflies
with visions of my day
On that day, don't let my lover weep
Take her in her sleep, while she's counting sheep
in the deepest dreams she closes her eyes
I still haven't found what i'm looking for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
I still haven't found what i'm looking for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
On that day, let my friends come
And remember what i've done
Both righteous and wrong
Both heinous and beautiful, yeah they so match your ways
On that day, don't let my lover weep
Take her in her sleep, while she's counting sheep
in the deepest dreams she closes her eyes
I still haven't found what i'm lookin' for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
I still haven't found what i'm lookin' for
I still haven't found what i'm searchin' for
