Name: there you wait
Duration: P00H03M55S
Description: "We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any point and to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever."

lyrics

through every word, through every thought
there you wait...
through every day i thought was lost
there you wait...

the long game, oh that awful wait
through all the time that you and i spent away
kept apart by loss
kept apart by fate.
in love like we're young
despite how old we are
but now i don't remember our house or where you parked the car
let's walk to find it before we run out of time
that long goodbye that you saved for me.

through every storm, through every frost
there you wait...
through every thought i just lost
there you wait...

decades or days since our honeymoon in spain
or was it niagara falls?
and just who are these children on the wall?
did they grow up kind?
did they have kids of their own?
was i a good man?
was it a happy home?

who holds you up when i can't hold you tight
there you wait...
the sundown phase turns to night
there you wait...

why does every face belong to someone new?
there you wait...
on that day when i forget you
there you wait...

i'm alive yet loved only for who i was
