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?
