Words of The Waiting Man 22

I lost my shadow and you can't
You can't love me 
You can't hold me 
You can't feel my lips
You can't be with me
That means I can't 
I can't wipe your tears away
I can't hold you 
I can't be anything but transparent
I told you love always will
Sometime it's a word away form the sea
You're not coming back in a boat
So why am I waiting in a lighthouse
I promise I'll be here when you comeback 
I know I had the eye of the storm in June when I seen you
So let the waves get bad again
The boat I have for two is still open for you 
I don't think I love you
I know I love you
