The Edge of Water

Have you ever been haunted
The way I've been by you?
And have you ever felt
the measure of the days that I've spent waiting,
Pining for you?
I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
'Til you're coming back again
I've dammed the emotions
To keep my lanterns lit
I'm shaken by this longing
That courses through my veins
In my mind I can't make sense of it
I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Are you coming back again
Do we give up the search
And turn out the light?
And give up this holy ghost that
Rattles through the night?
I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I don't want to step from these shadows
'Til you come back again
I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel your breath for the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Will you chase away these shadows?
When you come back again
When You come back again…
