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
