This is all about what you want from love, what you sometimes get, and what you keep on wishing for.
lyrics
see the twinkling lights
like some distant stars burning in the night
hear the falling rain
a haunting melody driving me insane
like your love
like the love we used to share
like a curse
like a pain i cannot bear
and all my life
i've been waiting for a moment
when a hand would hold to mine
but you held me and you dropped me
like comet falling down
spinning off into a whirlwind
till i crashed into the ground
and i wonder and i wish for
just a hand to raise me up
for a loving hand to hold me
dry my tears and fill my cup
see the open windows
out through the shutters where the laughter flows
hear the street cafe
see the lush green park where all the children play
like your love
you can trample until it dies
like a curse
as happiness passed me by
and all my life
i've been waiting for a moment
when a hand would hold to mine
but you held me and you dropped me
like comet falling down
spinning off into a whirlwind
till i crashed into the ground
and i wonder and i wish for
just a hand to raise me up
for a loving hand to hold me
dry my tears and fill my cup
and i wonder and i wish for
just a hand to raise me up
for a loving hand to hold me
dry my tears and fill my cup
