Where You Said You Would Be

Well, the past is gone and the night’s alive
And the future is on the run
The promise of a love so blind-
No rest for anyone
We said we’d meet by summer’s end
And forget the world we knew
Where the woodcock dance in moonlit flight
And the river splits in two
So, there I wait for you
And I wonder where you could be
I went right where you said you would be
Waiting for me
Now I’m waiting on you
Don’t let it be too good to be true
Two mirrored souls in fevered dance
Upon the thinnest strand
Sparked the edges of the universe;
Shook the limits of the land
But, so now goes the twilight’s blue
So too now comes the rain
And still now with no sign of you
So too now comes the pain
Unknown by any name
And I wonder where you could be
I went right where you said you would be
Waiting for me
Now I’m waiting on you
Don’t let it be too good to be true
In dreams I sailed to a land of youth
Where on golden harps they played
And bid, «Sing us a song of human love!»
I plucked one string and they pulled it away
And said, «You best be on your way.»
Now I wonder where you could be
I went right where you said you would be
Waiting for me
Now I’m waiting on you
Too bad it was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
