Meditation
Laura & Anton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess the ocean is not too far away
If I run all the way there
I guess I’m running out of things to say
My last poems were not really there

When will it come back
Answer me
When will you take me to that other house
The one you say is like home
Last night you told me a story
It seemed like lies, I’m so sorry
I couldn't say it on the phone

But when will it come back




When will it come back
Oh

In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Til the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you meditating
How sweet life will be
When you come back to me

In my loneliness, when you're gone and I'm all by myself and I need your caress
I just think of you, and the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear.
Though you're far away, I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky, for what else can I do
I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

I will wait for you meditating
How sweet life will be
When you come back to me

I'm so glad that I discovered Laura & Anton. I love how they sing "I'll See You In My Dreams" & "La Vie En Rose". Superb!
