00:23In the old town square where the lanterns glow
00:28I walk alone where the cobblestones know
00:31Every promise we whispered under Krakow skies
00:38Your American voice still echoes in my ears
00:44Like distant thunder rolling across the years
00:52The Atlantic keeps breathing between your world and mine
00:57Snow falls soft on the roofs of Warsaw tonight
01:01I light a candle and hold your picture tight
01:07Your smile's still warm in this freezing Polish air
01:12You said one day, my love, with tears in your eyes
01:16But the ocean is white and the reasons are wise
01:20And I'm learning how silence can feel like a prayer
01:25I wait for you, Kukhani
01:31Across the rolling sea
01:34My polished heart beats patient
01:38Though it's breaking inside of me
01:42The years may turn to silver
01:45The rivers may run dry
01:49But I'll be standing here, my darling
01:54Till the day you return
01:57Or I die
02:01I'll be standing here, my love, with tears in your eyes
02:29He's only a dream
02:31But they never heard how your laughter could redeem
02:35Every shadow that life tried to leave at my door
02:42At night I dance with your ghost in the hallway
02:45Play our old songs till the records grow fray
02:49The stars above Poland
02:51The stars above Poland still spell out your name
02:56You're building your life on the far golden shore
03:00While I'm keeping our love like a key to a door
03:04That may never open
03:06Can I love you the same?
03:11I wait for you, Kukhani
03:15Across the rolling sea
03:18My polish heart beats patient
03:22Though it's breaking inside of me
03:26The years may turn to silver
03:29The rivers may run dry
03:34But I'll be standing here, my darling
03:38Till the day you return
03:41Or I die
03:45Check on the champion
03:52Check on the champion
03:56If the wind ever carries you back to these arms
04:01I'll run through the radic with tears and with charms
04:04If not, then I'll love you in every goodbye
04:11For some loves are oceans
04:15Too deep to cross over
04:19Some hearts are built for waiting, not closure
04:22And mine was born under a patient, polished sky
04:30I'll wait for you forever
04:34Though the world forgets your name
04:38A Polish girl still faithful
04:42To a love that never came
04:46Let the candles burn lower
04:49Let my hair turn winter grey
04:53I'll still be here, my darling
04:57Waiting for that far-off day
05:05Just come on and see
05:07Just come on and see
05:15Just come on and see
05:25you
