Lyrics
If you carry that torch
Long enough
Maybe I?ll come
To see it?s light
In the forest of our
Narrow escape
Flickering through
The shadowy pines
If you beat that drum
If you call my name
Maybe I?ll hear
Your echoed refrain
Chorus:
And come
Running through the trees
To you
Falling down on my knees
For you
Long will you wait
How many years
While your love falls
On these deaf ears
Do you really mean
To see it through
Til I come
Running through the trees
To you
Bird without flight
Broken wings
In a cage where only
The cold wind sings
My heart is sewn
To my destiny
If your wishes are brave
Then let them be
Go on and beat that drum
Call my name
I just might hear
Your echoed refrain
Repeat Chorus
