lyrics

vs 1:
it's 3am and i can't sleep anymore
my head, a storm of memories
i found myself in my great-grandfather's land
a place that i'd not planned to be, but

ch:
you were waiting there for me
you were waiting there for me
yes, you were waiting there for me
thank you for waiting for me

vs 2:
i fell in love as you moved upon my heart
your spirit dancing in between
the lives of songs and daughters chasing after you
of ones i'd only just to meet, and

ch

br:
the hardest hour, well it came too late for tears
my weeping dried them days before
but as the outside world went into free spin
you brought a still pointe to the war, 'cause

ch x2
