#072 -- THE EMPTY BENCH INSIDIOUS FRUSTRATION #072
THE EMPTY BENCH

I'm feeling so content inside
To the point I can no longer hide
Humble in this solemn state of mind
There's no better place that I could find

I know that someday I'll return
I'll cross the sea and tread the unknown
It seems that I will make it there first
Sit on the bench, wait for you to come home

Don't let go
Of the life that you yearn to know
Don't lose hope
Of someone with you want to grow

Oh I'll be here waiting for you
You know I'll stay here as long as you need
Oh I'm longing to see your face
All I want is you close to me

Overnight dusk to dawn
I've waited for you far too long
Something inside me makes me stay
While the last strength of hope fades away

I won't let go
Of the life that I want to know
I won't lose hope
For you

Oh I'll be here waiting for you
You know I'll stay here as long as you need
Oh I'm longing to see your face
All I want is you close to me

Oh I can't have my way
I want you here
By my side
Forever here to stay
