Be Seeing You

Time and space is unforgiving, and too much is just pain
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting, re-reading your name
I would do anything if I could see you, I'd disturb the arcane
Just promise that you'll meet me, don't make my effort vain

If you wanted to, I will, meet me halfway in France?
Over Paris, on the tower, all alone we will dance
Spinning, spinning, twirling, we're taking a chance
The electric-lit night sky, all alone, enchants

And we will eat all of the sushi on Mt. Fuji in Japan
We'll swim in Atlantis, lost to any other man
When you meet me we will fly away, our feet won't have to stand
We'll have our own volcanic castle made of obsidian sand

I'll see your face in London, keeping time next to Big Ben
I'll see it when I'm back in 'Nam, fighting a thousand men
I see your face all the time, no matter where, or why, or when
But your shadow isn't good enough, I don't wanna pretend

I'll hear you in Australia, way deep in the outback
kangaroos are my companions as the sky goes black
I'm waiting, and I'll be waiting, fighting panic attacks
Dreams of you are good for now, even though they're only snacks

I'll feel you in a rain-forest, we'll be climbing up a tree
In the silence the animals are crying, they also can't see
I've been waiting for so very long, been from here to Tennessee
But I can keep waiting, take your time, don't rush for me

I'll be seeing you back in the day, in debauched ancient Rome
I'll be needing you all through the day, I've been cursed, stuck at home
Until you give the signal, I've nothing but time, so I just roam
I've been all across the map, hoping time won't burn me to the bone
