I Am Waiting (Cassandra Wilson)
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.
Why play the fool forever?

So fiendishly clever,
We’re carnival creatures gone mad.
Oh, 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’ll climb.
Oh, love of my loves, I am waiting.
Open up your eyes.
Look, we’re so much closer now.
