Are you on your way home
Or am I desperately waiting
Blindingly hoping
For an angel who is already gone?
For a mirror of myself
Who’s already shattered
Was already broken
To pieces long ago?

In despair
I wander between two worlds
Searching behind the clouds
For a sign from you
I’m scanning those empty eyes
For a soul to touch me
One glance to pierce me
When I’ll recognize you

Is this you that I hear
At night whispering melodies
Singing me lullabies
Cuddling close to me?
Invisible but
Blowing on my skin
Giving me the chills
Your ghost embracing me?

Is that you
Watching me sleep
While grasping my hand
With your fingers of smoke?
Are you the one
Haunting my flesh
In my mouth leaving a taste
That I can't get rid of?

I have this blind hope
Maybe you’re back already
That you came to get me
And let us be together, again at last
In this tragic and absurd
Bound called love
I keep turning my back from
Any other heart

I have this memory
Of our bond so pure
Of a link so secure
Of a love I still feel so deeply
To join you wherever you are
If you could give me a sign
I think I could die
To have you again, close to me

Have my eyes gone so dull
From searching the clouds
Wandering the winds so much
That I became a living ghost?
Have I gone so invisible
That you can't recognized me
When you walk right past me
Into the crowd?

Oh sweetheart I've tried and I've tried
To take strangers into my arms
But it felt like I was
Lying to myself
Is there anyone who can fit
In the shape of your embrace
This hole in my chest
Is there anybody else

Is there anyone down here
As beautiful as you
Any worthy of you
That would want to take me
Who will long to love me
For all that I am
With my laugh and my cries
Through my light and darkness

On my lonely nights
Is it you that I miss
Is it only you that would fit

Darling,

This
      hole
  in
       my
             chest
