Waiting

The wood burns warm
The house is still
The music soothes
And soon I will
Look for in another
What I’d 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 wide
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 would tell me
Everything’s all right
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 all right
As the sunset fades
And the moonlight breaks
The world is a small warm room tonight
