I'll wait, whisper and wait.
Whisper in your ear, please
tell me all the things you want me to hear.
Glued to my seat, superglue, my feet,
won't move.
What have you done?
Please remove me, from these shackles;
from these chains.
All I've ever wanted, is you out of my brain!
How am I to obtain, that hidden goal,
without your reins.
Reign of terror, running through my veins.
What constitutes fear? and what about pain?
All the pain you've left me in.
Did you think of the consequences?
And look what remains.
Nothing, nothing, I'm ashamed.

I still think of you,
though you're not around.
Those three simple words, stop
the hands of time.
I just want your hands in mine.
Close, gentle, kind.
A love so prosperous, a love
fine as the finest wines.
Sweet, loving, mine.
Hold me, for the rest of life.
All wrinkled and withered, a faint
smile.
You still give me the shivers.
When you're close to I.
I still want to feel, every breath,
every cry.
Just close your eyes, one time.
I'll kiss you gently and get lost
in rhymes. Me? A fool?
Not this time.
Forgive me love, we'll meet sometime.
Far away, in another life.
You'll know how to find me, just
remember my smile.
We've loved oh we've loved, but a
thousand times.
Same soul, different mold.
Love's repeated in riddles
and roads.
All depends which ones you roam.
The path always leads,
to hearth and home.

Your lips, speaking in tongues.
I can't understand; this battle
you've won.
