Worth Waiting For
(W. Hawkins)

So is this the price we pay, our moment in the sun
Scattered threads drifting away, big plans just said not done
A phone call won’t replace sweet hands when you’re hurt with nowhere to run
I hear there is a plan and a purpose we’ll never know

Waiting for a love worth waiting for
Searching in the shadows that bleed and crawl across the floor
Waiting for a love worth waiting for

I heard that song again today, it brought back every touch
The words they sang were the words I prayed reflecting both of us
Lost inside the melody I sat there in a hush
Trying to hold on to the so-called here and now

Waiting for a love worth waiting for
Searching in the shadows that bleed and crawl across the floor
Waiting for a love worth waiting for
And writing on a page the things I’ll say

Where’s my perfect place?
I want to get there more than I can say
Let’s run there together
And reappear some other distant day
