Twice  In A Blue Moon

Waiting For You

Now I lie awake here each and every lonely night

Caught up in the way things might have been

Still I can’t help wondering why

Why I can’t make these wings take flight

Caught up now in my original sin


I was waiting for you too long

And these feelings I had are all gone

Still now I know it’s time to

Let you out of my life


Words were never easy

And I was never wise

Perhaps it was my silence

That sabotaged these lives

Still I can’t help but blame myself

For the failure that we share

To continue now to lead a lie

Is more than we should bear


Back when we were children

The road seemed very clear

Now we can’t fight consequence and shame

We sit around these rooms

And try to resurrect our fears

And pass around the heartache and the blame


I was waiting for you too long

And these feelings I had are all gone

Still now I know it’s time

I let you out

Now I know it’s time I let you out

Now I know it’s time I let you out

Of my life.
