When Will Lyrics

When will I see your faces in a crowd again,

Basking in celebration with a kitchen full of friends?

This long nighttime it will have to end

I'm counting down the seconds until then

And if the waiting grows too long

I can sing you this song

When will I see you smiling with your eyes alight?

When will I hear you laughing as we talk into the night?

This long absence wasn't meant to be

I'm counting down the seconds until you're with me

I'm already long overdue

To throw my arms around you

We'll sit around the table, once the flood recedes

And eat raspberry jam and biscuits

Until we're bursting at the seams

This long deluge it will reach an end

And I'm counting down the seconds until then

And if the waiting grows too long

I can sing you this song
