w/Rhy. Figs 1&1A
He seems alone and silent, waiting on his hands
and knees. Ths chill fo winter's darkness sits
quietly.
Moved by desire (pre-chorus) Riff B
and fear, he takes a few steps away
Lifting shadows off a dream once broken (Chorus) Riff C
She can turn a drop of water into an ocean
And she listens. Whoa, whoa. (Bridge) Riff D (6x)
Oh, and she listens openly
