A Million Years

A million years she'd been awake

A million years she prayed

For one familiar soul to help her navigate her way

She stood agog at the spray of stars

And thought aloud each day:

I've been here so long

Holding on, but

Somehow I know

I can't be on this planet alone

And one waits

One waits for me

One waits

One waits for me

One waits

One will wait for me

And time's the only lonely curtain in between

And you could be a lion

Or a buzzard or a bee

However soft your symphony,

I'll know you sing for me

You too wandered the island

With a strange name in your throat

And when you come home

I won't let you go

Somehow I know

I can't be on this planet alone

And one waits

One waits for me

One waits

One waits for me

One waits

One will wait for me

And time's the only lonely curtain in between

Come out, come on out

Wherever you are...
