Don't begrudge me my God given right
To sit in the darkness and wait
For I know just as sure if I try to move on
You'll be knocking again at my gate.
Don't think I have missed you calling for me
I heard every call that came in
I'd pick up the phone to see if it was working
And replace it in the cradle again.
My friends have all said that I'm wasting my time
That you found another to love
But I call them all fools because I know in my heart
They don't know what they're speaking of.
Each night as I sit in this dark lonely house
I watch as the hours pass by
I know that you'll come to me given more time
Because in the past you have tried.
But it's been many months since I saw your face
And the ticking of time is at hand
Why have you left me so long without you
Aren't you still a compassionate man?
Have you forgotten that I'll always be here
In me there is always a home
But still time is moving too fast to go on
And I find myself still sitting alone.
