lyrics

I am looking for a miracle / I am expecting your face
To show up in the gloom
As it’s wont to do

I am seeking your beating heart / Can I feel it again?
I’m expecting your touch
What a foolish truth

I am waiting here, I am ripening
I am growing, it is frightening
Please, let me be

I want you says my sighing blood
I miss you says my sorry tune
I am asking you to love me like the moon

I breathe out the memory / of your limbs around me
I breathe in all your pain / I breathe out the sea

I am shining with every light / From the cities below
In the quiet of night /I can feel your glow

I am waiting here, I am ripening / I am growing, it is frightening

It has begun, no more grasping
The day will come, at long last and
I’d give anything if today could be that day
I’d give anything if today could be that day
