Cassandra Wilson
I Am Waiting
Why play the fool forever?
Dancing in the distance,
so fiendishly clever,
a carnival creature gone mad.

Heart of my hearts, I am waiting.
Walk me to the light.
Darker days are passing now.

There is a dream that binds us.
Hidden in our hearts,
there's a thing to remind us
in spite of our demons, we will climb.

Love of my loves, I am waiting.
Open up your eyes.
Look, we're so much closer now.
