(I Can't Seem to)

In the silence of the garden
Moths are rising on the wind
And the beast is pondering love, love, love
'Till the rusty nails grow dim

I can't seem to make you mine through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away through the ribbons and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hands

So I lingered with the people
In the silent August glade
But the rain has brought the night
And the night has brought the rain

I can't seem to make you mine through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away through the ribbons and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hands
