Anticipation

the candle burns out 

the oil in the lamps nearly dry 

but still we wait

oh yes, wait we do

the sun sinks lower into the clouds

the day grows a little darker

our shadows, a little larger

but still we wait

the song starts to slow

the laughter, it slowly dies down

the crowd begins to disperse

we wait

the dust begins to settle

we begin to come up on the horizon

the skies get a little clearer

and oh we wait

the first drop, the first drizzle

the first shower

the first taste, the first look

the first fitting

the first day, the first time

the first touch

the first kiss, the first look

and yes, we wait.
