I stay alone and wait for you Just like I promised I would do I keep my job, go out at night or watch the news Just killing time while I wait for you I keep on writing for a living But lately words have lost their meaning It seems right now the only thing left for me to do Is to hold my breath and wait for you Of course I know you're not coming back But if it's not you it'll be no one The seasons change, the rivers freeze and I face the truth It breaks my heart, yet I wait for you Your memory wakes me in the morning Your footsteps echo in the silence I do not know what I would do if I could choose But for the time being I'll wait for you It breaks my heart, yet I wait for you
