The rain cries tears and the trees cry leaves
And the river cries for the vast and deep
And the sky cries silence, the sky cries blue,
And oh, I wait for you.
The bird sings light and the heart sings blind
And it cries as it sings and it don’t know why
And the world sings wind, and the earth sings new,
And oh, I wait for you.
Sometimes the stars are cold and bright,
And sometimes they are shy,
The darkness knows what stars are like ‘
Cause darkness looked into your eyes.
The stream runs stones, and the house runs free
And sea runs into soaring sea,
And the snow runs deep, and deep runs true,
And oh, I wait for you.
