Artist/Band: Donovan
Lyrics for Song: What The Soul Desires
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Donovan



There is a rapture that my soul desires

There is a something that I cannot name

I know not after what my soul aspires

Nor guess from when the restless longing came



But ever from my childhood have I felt it

In all things beautiful, in all things gay

And ever has its gentle unseen presence

Falling like a shadow cloud across my way



It is the melody in all sweet music

In all fair forms it is the hidden grace

In all I love, a something that escapes me

Flies by pursuit and ever visits face



I see it in the woodlands, silver beauty

I feel it in the breathing of the air

I stretch my hand to grasp for I can't touch it

But I do, well, I know it is not there



La la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la la la la la



But ever from my childhood have I felt it

In all things beautiful, in all things gay

And ever has its gentle unseen presence

Falling like a shadow cloud across my way



There is a rapture
