Waiting To Happen

I lie awake at night
Listening to you sleeping
I hear the darkness breathe
And the rain against the windowAfter all this time
Cynical and jaded
All the stones are diamonds
All the blues are fadedEverything I've been through
All I've seen and heard
Spend so much of my life
In the spiritual third world
But you came and brought the rain hereSomething waiting to happen
Something learning to fly
We can talk without talking
From inside to inside
I have waited to feel this
For the whole of my lifeWe took ourselves apart
We talked about our faces
You said you didn't like yours
I said I disagreeI keep the pieces separate
I clutch them in my coat
A jigsaw of an angel
I can do when I feel lowFrom emptiness and dryness
The famine of our days
I watch the Heavens open
Wash it all away
You came and brought the rain hereSomething waiting to happen
Something learning to fly
On the edge of exploding
Something wild and aliveSomething waiting to happen
Any time that you like
I have waited to feel this
For the whole of my life
