Michael Franks How The Garden Grows
I've been waiting to meet you I know you're out there somewhere Are you waiting to meet me too? Every morning I start out Maybe today Every night turn my heart out Maybe tomorrow When I wander in dreamtime I feel you come closer Tell me is it the same with you? You stand on a cliff overlooking the ocean Below on the beach I am caught in slow motion And there we're face to face Together again for the first time Face to face You're the one I can love for a lifetime Face to face I can see that it might take a while Face to face To escape from the curve of your smile All alone in a desert I follow some footprints Only hoping they lead to you Always slightly behind you Just out of frame In a hurry to find you Before the dream ends There's confusion and hardship But it never matters 'Cause I'm doing it all for you And I know as I search these wide open spaces You wait under a palm tree At the oasis Cancel loneliness Capture happiness Let that heartache and pain go Love feels awful good Like I knew it would All superlatives true Never better now It's forever now Finally over the rainbow I was blind I see Fate was kind to me When it cast me with you
