And I
Long for you in wastelands
Where life is bitter hell
I long for you in darkness
Where hope can barely tell
I long for you in mountains
And through the hills and dales
I long for you in sadness
Where swollen tears once fell
I long for you in madness
Where mind’s gone out of sight
I long for you in gladness
As wish to share your might
I long for you when wistful
When love is just a wish
I long for you impassioned
As dreaming of your kiss
And if you were a demon
I would want you just the same
And if could find my voice right now
I’d always call your name
And when you’re seeking solace
I will be right here for you
And as the puppet becomes man
We’ll make a life brand new
