Story Behind The Song

I suffer from insomnia, and wrote these lyrics long before sunrise one morning. Victoria took the lyrics and wrote the music during the day while I was at work. By evening, the song was done.

Song Description

Fresh lyrical treatment of mourning, deception and lost love. Cool acoustic pop --Bruce Hornsby meets James Taylor, backing female lead

Lyrics

Waiting for the Sun

Night?you come and steal me from the evening
Slow?I barely feel your vapored breath
Kiss?something passionate and urgent
Like a matter of life or death

Hope?the only reason for tomorrow
Love?a fiction feeding me your line
Tears?the wages paid in full by dreamers
Pathways too familiar for a sign


I know you feel me in the shadow
Like a bird in rain before the warmth of dawn
No one could be further from love?s arrow
Than I am and I am left here waiting for the sun

Blessed?just a word that you once called me
Blind?I half-stumble through the dark
Freedom?what greater coldness can be offered
Like a winter that leaves its sterile mark

I know you feel me in the shadow
Like a bird in rain before the warmth of dawn
No one could be further from love?s arrow
Than I am and I am left here waiting for the sun (repeat)
