Waltz - Kari Bremnes

See the light through the glass now the moon’s looking in

See the light where she’s keeping her vigil

She can see where we’re blind — for the night is her twin

In the shadows and mist when the world’s still

She will be there to see him and call out his name

For his touch, for his strong arms around her

It’s been twenty years now, but her heart’s still the same

Though not one spark of hope ever found her

So he never came back on a spring night like this

Come the news come a grave without coffin

But she talks to the wind from the deepest abyss

Now forever she waits for her Franklin

Come so softly his breathing so close again

Come a picture of bridegroom and bride

Come a gift of forgetfulness, be her friend

Keep her safe from what’s burning inside

She will stand at her window as darkness comes down

She will search in the night for an omen

He will be there, she knows, when the hour comes around

That’s the way with a man and a woman
