Time and time again
I listen to the wind
Waiting in vain to hear
To hear, your footsteps coming near
Time and time again
And as the wind blows
I'm still a lonely host
Dancing cheek to cheek
And as the wind blows
I'm still a lonely host
With the memory of a ghost
Oh how we move
Slowly in step
Round and round we go
Shuffling to the waltz
On the rug past the window
Round and round we go
Whippoorwill sings through
The gray orange haze
No cage no seed no wire
Spinning through remnants
On this living room stage
No feast no fear no fire
Lamplight lingers on your missing silhouette
The one that I've yet to forget
Leading unheard laughter through the maze
Of love's rafters
As I lean towards regret
Tracing the ether
Chasing your touch
Grappling to conspire
Wishing on impressions
Tiptoeing round the hush
Spying phantoms in the brush
