[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
