I waited for you, but you never saw I called for you, but you never heard I tried so hard, so long to find you Now I wonder if you were ever there.

You came into my world a friend And you left it marked with regret There are so many things I wish Most of all, that we’d made it

What’s this power you have over me? I can’t sleep for thinking of you, Even though I never thought I could feel it again. I think I’ve fallen in love

There’s a light A sparkle A glimmer Just a pin-point But there even so

I wait in vain, To hear your voice. But I’m afraid to call Because I know you won’t stay. How can you promise to love me forever Then disappear without a trace? Why must it always end this way – Can’t you look at me without regret?

What if I weren’t here any more? What if I couldn’t ever see you? Would you even notice I was gone? Would you miss me at all?

I seem to spend my life in transit, flitting from place to place like a seasoned traveller Watching the towns and cities fly past my window as we hum through towns And pre-recorded announcements tell me where I just departed from I see but I fail to observe, because I’m on my own without her

I remember that day you lay on my shoulder And suddenly all the world was right Because finally, you trusted me enough To let me take hold of your heart.

I found you on a beach once. Such a perfect cone of creamy white A corkscrew entwined with itself Half buried in the shingles of Llanelli And such a gentle sparkle as I passed
