See the light through the glass
now the moon's looking in
See the light where she's keeping her vigil
She can see where we're blind
for the night is her twin
In the shadows and mist
when the world's still
She will be there to see him
and call out his name
For his touch
for his strong arms around her
It's been twenty years now
but her heart's still the same
Though not one spark of hope
ever found her
So he never came back
on a spring night like this
Come the news
come a grave without coffin
But she talks to the wind
from the deepest abyss
Now forever she waits for her Franklin
Come so softly
his breathing so close again
Come a picture
of bridegroom and bride
Come a gift of forgetfulness
be her friend
Keep her safe
from what's burning inside
She will stand at her window
as darkness comes down
She will search in the night for an omen
He will be there, she knows
when the hour comes around
That's the way
with a man and a woman
