Lyrics

I sit here awaiting the dawn
Long minutes of black creeping on…
Racking my brain for the start of a song
When it’s silence alone that I want
Silence the serpents who say
My singing will quicken the day
I clutter my soul with a scattered escape
When I’ve only to watch and to wait
Wait –
With my soul I wait
Don’t be far away!
Lord come back for me!
Wait –
Just in you I’m safe
More than for the rays
Of the coming day
I wait
I can’t hide, I can’t cover my shame
I’m for sale, and no one cares to pay
They’re simply content but to snigger and spit
At no clothes, no respect, and no name
I can’t hide from the light on my face;
I can’t run from the dawn of the day
So teach me to flee from my wandering ways
To a day where the sun never fades...
Wait –
With my soul I wait
Don’t be far away!
Lord come back for me!
Wait –
Just in you I’m safe
More than for the rays
Of the coming day
I wait
