I STAND AND WAIT

I STAND AND WAIT

Upon this shores gate

This wide expanse that is filled with waste

It stretches beyond the lands and hands

Those have laid their hands upon

Looked upon

Walked upon these sands

Whilst I am here standing and waiting

I look out to the distance

The waves rising and falling

Just like our love

Never knowing whether we are

Coming and going

Just like two passing ships in the night

For a short while you are here

Oh such bliss I can hear

This heart has been touched

So very, very much

It is so hard when we depart

It tears this heart

So wide apart

Oh this aching, aching heart!

The absolute sheer ecstasy

The thrill so bliss

The excitement with your kiss

The passion in your touch

Oh the love I feel so much

The happiness that we feel

A happiness that feels surreal

The pleasure and the pain!

What more can we gain?

You have me in a trance

 With just one glance

Come back my lover!
