How long will it take?
If you could say when,
I would close my eyes
And surrender, to the dark
Until I wake
How long will it be?
If you would hold me in my sleep
I would gladly lay my soul for yours to keep
How much longer?
Until I know why
Those empty nights
And restless eyes of mine
Did nothing but weep
If I'd closed them and prayed
Would you have found me
Would you have found me
After all, and would I have found
My way?
Linger not, but carry my heart
Across tonight, across the dark
Where tomorrow awaits and
Where my eyes will have found
The light of day.
