Waiting

The wood burns warm, the house is still.

The music soothes and soon I will

Look for in another, what I found in you

What we had in each other, but you couldn’t live through

Old love burns, my body aches

And I’m taking time, for as long as it takes

As the sunset fades and the moonlight breaks

I’ll try and put right all my mistakes

A throwaway world, a throwaway life.

I’m glad I’m by myself tonight

When all passion’s spent in the one you love

When there’s no guiding hands from a god above

When all that’s left is never enough.

But there was a time that I can’t find

Filled with light from a love inside

Filled with love, it was a world so white

And we’d run from one to the other side

Filled with laughter and a love so bright

Now I wait for something by hushed firelight

Something that will tell me, everything’s alright.

A throwaway world, a throwaway life.

I’m glad I’m here by myself tonight

Where the wood’s all warm and the fire burns bright

And I tell myself everything will be alright

As the sunset fades and the moonlight breaks

The world is a small warm room tonight.
