Wait for Me
I wanted you to know although we haven't spoken for so long
I just cannot stop thinking of your song
I hear it in the wind sometimes when the grass is long
And I'm feeling alone
I hear it in the waters of the river where we sat and dreamt of home
I thought you ought to know although I haven't seen you for a while
I just can't escape the heart rendered image of your smile
I see it in the starlight around my breath when it gets cold
I see it in the hillside where we walked and talked together long ago
I should never have let go of your hand when it seemed too hard to hold
Perhaps you didn't understand but then again I could never be that bold
But I feel it when the sun goes down and the beauty hears me calling 'wait for me'
I feel it in the morning glow of another day in search of eternity
I really should have known to have a friend like you was all I need
And as the feeling grows a part of you becomes a part of me
So when the starlight limns my breath, I'll breathe out all the more till I can see
What it is I'm searching for and I'll listen to each river and each stream
And when the angels bear away the sun and the horizon takes my message to the sea
I'll stand here on this shore tonight and hope to meet you later in my dream
Later in my dream
Later in my dream
