The lilies you bought me
still unopened waiting in their vase
waiting for the sun

to stream through the window
lighting up the shadows in this house
shadows grown so long


long time no see
long time for me
waiting for

long life for you
long life for me
waiting for


the water grows tepid
still unpoured beside an empty pot
tea so long forgot

the stale air grows thicker
with memories and dusty dreams
dreams so dead and gone


long time no see
long time for me
waiting for

long life for you
long life for me
waiting for


[bridge]


long time no see
long time for me
waiting for

long life for you
long life for me
waiting for


I've played my hand
I understand
I've never tried to lie to you
I waste my skills
I have no will
I've never tried to lie to you
