I can hardly wait another night Another day for you to arrive I can hardly face another mile Knowing all the while you're out of sight What if it's now or never? Will you leave me in the snow to find my way? It's late December And the road appears to be the same both ways I've been up for days with not an ounce Of tireness to weigh my spirits down A long way past the sign still flashing 'One mile to dine', there's no turning around Oh, for this drifter To be faced with you Embraced by wonder and light Oh, for that moment To be touched by you Your hands so graceful in flight Oh, for that moment To be safe forever You're easier to see When my eyes try to sleep every night But you're harder to see With the water deep and the sky white What if it's now or never? Would you meet me by the river in time? When I draw my last breath Will you cradle me? Oh, for this drifter To be faced with you Embraced by wonder and light Oh, for that moment To be touched by you Your hands so graceful in flight Oh, for that moment To be safe forever Where are you now?
