lyrics

Casting weary eyes upon the dark,
Overlooking shadows in the park,
Holding out eternally,
With hope of some day boxing up your heart.
Standing here and wasting all my time,
Searching for the answers I won't find,
To questions I don't need to ask,
And problems that were never really mine.

I never understood the reason that you turned away,
And gave your soul to someone who would turn your world to waste,
Still I find myself here standing by,
And waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you.

Something in the words you waited for,
Made me wish I said them all before,
And if I gave more time to us,
I'd sit down here and write a thousand more,
And a thousand more,
See the shadows gather in the storm,
Pour another drink to keep us warm,
A loving truth so far away,
Where faces take on many different forms.

I know we could be happy here and find ourselves a life,
Of never ending harmony where shadows turn to light,
Until then I'll be here standing by,
And waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you.

I never understood the reason that you turned away,
And gave your soul to someone who would turn your world to waste,
Still I find myself here standing by,
And waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you,

I'm waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you,
I'm waiting for you.
