Waiting For You
Kent Agee

Last night I heard the god of passion taking giant steps through town
He stopped outside my bedroom window,stood there ’til the Moon went down
I could hear his huge heart beating, pumping blood like hot perfume
I lay half awake, half dreaming...waiting for you

In the morning there were ashes strewn across my bedroom floor
In the ash your name was written like some ancient ritual
Then I knew that my desire had made a furnace in my soul
And all that cannot satisfy it feeds the flame waiting for you

Waiting for you

Bring me your forbidden secrets, lay them naked next to mine
Let me touch what’s hidden deepest, tear away the boundary line
All the thoughts you’ve tried to bury are alive inside their tomb
I will be their sanctuary, can’t you feel them waiting for you

Waiting for you

In the street lights of Temptation hidden doorways are exposed
Shadows of anticipation watch with eyes that will not close
Every footstep in the distance is my dark dream coming true
and every face in every window is my own waiting for you
