Waltz

See the light through the glass

now the moon's looking in

See the light where she's keeping her vigil

She can see where we're blind

for the night is her twin

In the shadows and mist

when the world's still

She will be there to see him

and call out his name

For his touch

for his strong arms around her

It's been twenty years now

but her heart's still the same

Though not one spark of hope

ever found her

So he never came back

on a spring night like this

Come the news

come a grave without coffin

But she talks to the wind

from the deepest abyss

Now forever she waits for her Franklin

Come so softly

his breathing so close again

Come a picture

of bridegroom and bride

Come a gift of forgetfulness

be her friend

Keep her safe

from what's burning inside

She will stand at her window

as darkness comes down

She will search in the night for an omen

He will be there, she knows

when the hour comes around

That's the way

with a man and a woman
