Home is afar as I wait by your doorstep
An ache in my heart halting my breath
How I try not to falter, but I know
The uncertainty of after is what helps me to go
Foolish I may be perched here like the swallow
Sanity, please take me, where sense shows
Oh, I watch the petals drift from the rose
I remember the kiss, the way it fell, the way it rose
Hear the water sigh by my feet
Awaiting the moment you and I meet
Lost and lonely lover, a pearl in the sky
Heart, tell me why, tell me why
Stone structures surround, are they graves?
My soul sinks to the ground, please be brave
A frightened glance cast upon deepening gloom
Unfathomable chance dancing in my room
Yet the clouds do part to welcome a light
How did we become apart this beautiful night?
Filled with its sadness for which the owl sings
Wooed by this madness, I toss the promise rings
Wake to a never coming dawn this time
Devoted to a faith inside
Is that you I see?
Are you returning for me?
If I could withdraw from this misery
Hear the water sigh by my feet
Awaiting the moment you and I meet
Lost and lonely lover, a pearl in the sky
Heart, tell me why, tell me why
Hear the water sigh in retreat
Knowing I will never be complete
Lost and lonely lover, the moon cries
Oh, tell me why, tell me why
Hear the water sigh by my feet
Awaiting the moment you and I meet
Lost and lonely lover, a pearl in the sky
Heart, tell me why, tell me why
