She's a shadow to me
A silhouette of beauty in her face that I still can't see
I've imagined her smile
Since I was a child, for some reason it keeps hiding from me
And nobody seems to know
The way this all goes, but when you know, you just know
But that ain't happened for me yet
And sometimes I wonder if I may have missed it

And time will show
But time moves slow
How long will you make me wait
'Till I see your face?
How long 'till that sacred day
When I finally know your name?

I never thought it would be true
That I would still be lookin' for my girl but I'm still looking for you
And all my lonely season's pass
Fallin' down like grains of sand in an hourglass

And time will show
But time moves slow
How long will you make me wait
'Till I see your face?
How long 'till that sacred day
When I finally know your name?

This is not what I had planned
And I, I'm not a patient man
All I know is empty hands alone
Silhouettes and sand
