Lyrics

HEAVEN'S WAITING © 1997 Cara Jones

Why must I wait for love
Watching life pass before my eyes
Silent and proud, though I'm running out of time
Something is holding me
Turn a whimper into a sigh
Keeping me down on a bed of my design

But I hear voices calling to me...
Ah, heaven's waiting for me here
Heaven's waiting for me
Til I can touch the sky
With my feet on the ground they tell me I can fly

But I can't wait much more
I taste the danger of slipping in
Into a womb, dark and comfortably cool
Wrapped tight in silk and wine
Wondering if I will ever know
Some peace of mind, and a love that's truly mine

Then I hear voices calling to me...

Winter is gaining ground
I know it's you that I'm waiting for
My eyes are shy and averted from the light
Here comes the avalanche
Flash of white and I'm underground
Seconds split time til I'm rescued from the ice

Then I hear voices calling to me...
