Waltz

See the light through the glass now the moon's looking in See the light where she's keeping her vigil She can see where we're blind - for the night is her twin In the shadows and mist when the world's still She will be there to see him and call out his name For his touch, for his strong arms around her It's been twenty years now, but her heart's still the same Though not one spark of hope ever found her So he never came back on a spring night like this Come the news come a grave without coffin But she talks to the wind from the deepest abyss Now forever she waits for her Franklin Come so softly his breathing so close again Come a picture of bridegroom and bride Come a gift of forgetfulness, be her friend Keep her safe from what's burning inside She will stand at her window as darkness comes down She will search in the night for an omen He will be there, she knows, when the hour comes around That's the way with a man and a woman
