Staring at the sun
And waiting for the night to come again
Another year begun
Another year is coming to an end
Howling at the moon
And waiting for the stars to disappear
Daylight comes too soon
A winter chill hangs in the frozen air
Waiting
Watching
Thinking
Maybe
Of searching
Somewhere
For you—
Looking
Hoping
Wanting
Some way
A new day
Be dawning
With you—
No one speaks your name
No, no one looks into your amber eyes
No one sings your song
No, no one comes along and even tries
A long, long time ago
I dreamed there would be someone here like you
But now I’ve come to know
Illusion and delusion must see me through
The bleakest blue
[Chorus]
Staring at the sun
And waiting for the night to come again
Another year begun
Another year is coming to an end
Howling at the moon
And waiting for the stars to disappear
Daylight comes too soon
A winter chill hangs in the air so clear
You are not here
[Chorus]
