At night I wait beside the quiet lake, where we ounce walked and laughed as lover's do. And by each star this silent prayer i make, That I might spend my future years with you.
But you don't know the man whose standing here, My name I've kept as secret as the night. For my name may sound vulgar to your ear, And my face may be a canker in your sight.
Still, I stand here waiting all alone, Hoping to hear your footsteps on the path. Afraid that when you see this face you've known, You'll turn away in anger, or you'll laugh.
Man is a prisioner, when his hearts in love, And accepts the pain that he must take. So long as he can hope in the stars above, He'll wait for you, besides this quiet lake |
