about

A song for Katharine, and a yearning for the morning light

lyrics

I long to see you in the morning light
Hoping everything will turn out right
I've been here holding on all night for you
Oh, I can't wait till the light comes shining through

There is such wonder when the day begins
A need to run from the dark within
I know I must wash away all my sins for you.
Oh, I can't wait till the light comes shining through

Lead on to the first light
Dream on, don't delay
Lead on through the lonely night
Please show me the way

Deep in the night it's hard to find a way
To keep the demons and all fears at bay
You must know I want to start the day with you
Oh, I can't wait till the light comes shining through

Lead on to the first light
Dream on, don't delay
Lead on through the lonely night
Please show me the way

I never knew it meant so much to me
The call for someone to set me free
At break of day I really need to be with you
Oh, I can't wait till the light comes shining through

Lead on to the first light
Dream on, don't delay
Lead on through the lonely night
Please show me the way

Oh, I can't wait till the light comes
Holding on all night for the right one
Oh, I can't wait till the light comes shining through
