You've burned all your bridges The old flames still burn and flickers Footprints glow in the embers Old wounds still scar the witness
You wait for a distant love To bathe you in a brighter light You wait for a distant love To shine down on you tonight
You crossed tracks to swim the river You missed the train and now the water's deeper The current's too strong and drags you under You look for the light but only feel thunder
You pray for a distant love To bathe you in a brighter light You pray for a distant love To try and rescue you tonight
You got washed up upon the shore Your bridges don't burn no more You clung to the driftwood you saw The witness traced wet footprints to your door
You wait for a distant love To bathe you in a brighter light You wait for a distant love To shine down on you tonight
You're cold and wet right through Nobody to help and care for you You light a fire like you always do But your driftwood splits in two
You wait for a distant love To bathe you in a brighter light You wait for a distant love To shine down on you tonight You wait for a distant love You still wait when love gives up You wait for a distant love
