Lyrics
[Verse]
The lamp flickers
Weak and thin
Shadows crawl across my skin
A clock ticks
Heavy
Slow—
Time's a river
But where does it go?
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
[Verse 2]
A sparrow's cry
Sharp and bare
Cuts through the frostbitten air
The tea grows cold
Untouched
Alone
I’m a house
A shell
Without a stone
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
[Bridge]
The moon is a stranger
Pale and shy
Whispering secrets it won’t untie
If I could hold it
If I could stay—
But it slips
It fades
It floats away
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
The lamp flickers
Weak and thin
Shadows crawl across my skin
A clock ticks
Heavy
Slow—
Time's a river
But where does it go?
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
[Verse 2]
A sparrow's cry
Sharp and bare
Cuts through the frostbitten air
The tea grows cold
Untouched
Alone
I’m a house
A shell
Without a stone
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
[Bridge]
The moon is a stranger
Pale and shy
Whispering secrets it won’t untie
If I could hold it
If I could stay—
But it slips
It fades
It floats away
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night
Under stars that hide their light
I wait
I wait—
For a voice
For a sign
For the weight of time
