The wait
the empty streets the cold night a restless heart a worried mind eve growing darker people hurrying home street lights on and I'm standing alone chilled breeze blew a shiver shook me hungry eyes raised but I kept standing stretched my eyes to the ends of the road strangers walked by but I don't see you emptiness filled around my heart raced at every sound by the pavement below the lamp for a while I then sat nothing seemed known even my shadow estranged no one to accompany me except the lonely time time moved on but I stood still waiting in the dark here for you to be I told you I'll wait no matter how long by heart I started our love song the song of promise the words of faith the verses of holding each other no matter how long be the wait "I'll always wait"
