Waiting
Embers of Love: Anne Clark's Reflection on Lost Passion
Lyrics
The wood burns warm, the house is still.
The wood is burning warmly, and the house is quiet.
The music soothes and soon I will
The music is calming, and soon the speaker will...
Look for in another, what I found in you
Seek in someone else what was found in a past relationship.
What we had in each other, but you couldn't live through
Reflect on a relationship that ended because the partner couldn't endure it.
Old love burns, my body aches
Experience pain from a past love, and the body is weary.
And I'm taking time, for as long as it takes
Take time to heal, without a specified duration.
As the sunset fades and the moonlight breaks
As the sunset disappears and moonlight emerges,
I'll try and put right all my mistakes
Attempt to correct past mistakes.
A throwaway world, a throwaway life.
Comment on a disposable world and life.
I'm glad I'm by myself tonight
Express contentment in being alone tonight.
When all passion's spent in the one you love
Reflect on a moment when passion is exhausted in a relationship.
When there's no guiding hands from a god above
Acknowledge the absence of guidance from a higher power.
When all that's left is never enough.
When all that remains is insufficient.
But there was a time that I can't find
Recall a time filled with inner love and light.
Filled with light from a love inside
Illuminated by love from within.
Filled with love, it was a world so white
Describe a world characterized by love and brightness.
And we'd run from one to the other side
Run from one side to another in this joyful world.
Filled with laughter and a love so bright
Filled with laughter and intense love.
Now I wait for something by hushed firelight
Currently waiting for something by a quiet fire.
Something that will tell me, everything's alright.
Seeking reassurance that everything is okay.
A throwaway world, a throwaway life.
Reiterate the notion of a disposable world and life.
I'm glad I'm here by myself tonight
Express satisfaction in being alone tonight.
Where the wood's all warm and the fire burns bright
In a warm and bright environment, reassuring oneself.
And I tell myself everything will be alright
Convince oneself that everything will be okay.
As the sunset fades and the moonlight breaks
As the sunset fades and the moonlight appears again,
The world is a small warm room tonight.
The world feels like a small, warm room tonight.
