Waiting for you

I wait
Manacle crank on concrete
Painful cry of the jail-dark
I say: have patience...
I'm running out of time -
Waiting for you...

I stay
I've been here all my life
Collected memories of hours
I say: have patience...
I'm forgetting to grieve -
Waiting for you...

I go
The quick and the dead talk
They pass me by
I say: have patience...
I'm going to no point -
Waiting for you...

I pray
Words come out as they seem
So naked and fainted...
I say: have patience...
I'm turning into silence -
Waiting for you...

I blaze
At every inch of my heart
Drops of an icicle breeze
Again I say: have patience
I'm leaking to the ground -
Waiting for you...

I listen
Pounding hearts of evermore
They never regret
Again I say: have patience
I'm a beat getting straight -
Waiting for you...

I'm waiting for you,
Waiting for you,
Days gone by
I close my weary eyes
And redound (redound!)
To lift the shadow from the ground

I forget native spells
The flow of juice in the cells
I'm along waitin' for you
Long waitin' for you

I wait
Manacle crank on concrete
Painful cry on the jail-dark
I say: have patience...
I'm running out of time...
