Waiting - Oi Va Voi

Whenever I remember you and I

So many years since you were by my side

And still my thoughts you occupy

And still your face is frozen in my mind

It’s hard to win, easy to lose

We play a game we cannot choose

As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise

I could’ve been the one still with you but something in the way

Brought our private universe into the cold light of day

Just when I have forgotten you that’s when the longing starts

Nostalgia seeps into my head and I realize that I’ve been

Waiting for all these years

Waiting for all these years

Whenever I’m alone in troubled times

My silent screams, my innocence, my crimes

I wish that you were still here by my side

Without you here the darkness magnifies

It’s hard to win, easy to lose

It’s a lovely game we cannot choose

As steady as a rocking horse, as subtle as a bruise

Waiting for all these years

Waiting for all these years

I could’ve been the one to love you but something interfered

Took away the innocence and our world just disappeared

Just when I think I’m over you something unlocks the past

Memories pour into my brain and then the longing starts

Waiting for all these years

Waiting for all these years

We’ve just been

Waiting for all these years

Waiting for all these years
