Saša Milivojev - AS IF YOU WERE HERE

Saša Milivojev

AS IF YOU WERE HERE

I am looking back

Hoping you would follow

Waiting for you to come back to me

To tell me that you love me

In the darkness astray

Still holding me dear

As if you were here

Yet you are on your way

From the angel’s hand so fine

Nettle burned this heart of mine

Drunk on love

Lost my mind

My soul in wastelands

has gone astray

Searching to you to find its way

If I find thee

Give myself to me

At least to have myself

Since I have lost thee

You are looking back

Hoping I will follow

Waiting for me to return to you

To tell you I love you

In the darkness astray

I have let you go

I am on my way

Saša Milivojev
