I don't know how to find peace in my heart

Sant’Agata di Militello

I don’t know how to find peace in my heart.

I don’t know where she goes.

Is she waiting in the home I left behind,

buried beneath the flowers that sleep beneath the snow.

I don’t know how to find peace in my heart.

I don’t know where she’s gone -

did she set with the sun in the holy land

and remained beyond, where our hearts can’t roam?

I don’t know how to find peace in my heart.

If she was ever here, now I’m sure she is not.

I never had hope that I’d find her before,

but it’s harder, once you’ve had hope and lost.
