And I Wait For You

Highways and byways fly by night and day, dark and light,
Seen and then out of sight
And I look for you

Bars and sky stars with too many drinks, sinking once again,
Begin and end another turn
And I look for you

And the wind carries your name
And the rain washes away my shame
And the snow blows all that I know
And I know I love you, so…
I wait for you to show

Beds and pillows wet with all I’ve said and cried and tried,
Weak and shallow, thick mired
And I look for you

Dreams and screams with fleeting images, meeting in my soul,
Bold shadows I cannot hold
And I look for you

And the wind carries your name
And the rain washes away my shame
And the snow blows all that I know
And I know I love you, so…
I wait for you to show

Woods and beaches, swinging moods and heart leeches sucking,
Bucking senses every season
And I look for you…
Look for you and you, never knowing when you might be showing,
But I’m tired — so tired — going down drowning for this last time

But the wind carries your name
And the rain washes away my shame
And the snow blows all that I know
And I know I love you, so…
I wait for you to show

I wait for you to show…

  1. Thats so bful and really straight from the heart. Feel like flowing along the super cool hear touching couplets. Just love it

    1. You know, I was just talking to my daughter and saying it’s too bad I have no musical talent; I might actually try putting it to music. Otherwise, someone else can take a shot at it! LOL 😉

      1. Maybe your kids will get inspiration to make songs? 🙂 That reminded me actually of a sweet movie called “Begin Again”, nice teamwork there creating music together, including the man’s teenage daughter.
