My Room (Waiting For Wonderland)

<br>(Hammill)<br><br>Searching for diamonds in a sulphur mine,<br>leaning on props that are rotten,<br>hoping for anything, looking for a sign<br>that I am not forgotten.<br>Lost in a labyrinth of future mystery,<br>tracing my steps, all mistaken,<br>trusting to everything, praying it can be<br>that I am not forsaken.<br><br>I wait by the door, wondering<br>when you will come and keep me warm.<br>I pray for the end of the night,<br>hoping the light will still the storm<br>which presently betrays me;<br>helpless sea-monster stranded on the shore,<br>marooned in an ecstasy of waiting,<br>I yearn, although knowing that I shall dive no<br>more<br>in the tide already racing.<br><br>My lungs burst to cry: &quot;Finally<br>how could you leave me here to die?<br>I freeze in the chill of this place<br>with no friendly face to smile goodbye-<br>how could you let it happen?&quot;<br><br>How could you let it happen?<br>Dreams, hopes and promises, fragments out of<br>time,<br>all of these things have been spoken;<br>still you don`t understand how it feels when I`m<br>waiting for them to be broken.
