silhouettes & sand

she's a shadow to me

a silhouette of beauty in her face that i still can't see

i've imagined her smile

since i was a child

for some reason it keeps hiding from me

and no boy seems to know

the way this all goes

but when you know

you just know

but that ain't happened for me yet

and sometimes i wonder if i may have missed it

and time will show

but time moves slow

how long will you make me wait

'till i see your face?

how long 'till that sacred day

when i finally know your name?

i never thought it would be true

that i would still be lookin' for my girl but i'm still looking for you

and all my lonely seasons pass

fallin' down like grains of sand in an hourglass

and time will show

but time moves slow

how long will you make me wait

'till i see your face?

how long 'till that sacred day

when i finally know your name?

this is not what i had planned

and i

i'm not a patient man

all i know is empty hands alone

silhouettes and sand
