Hope Against Hope lyrics

It`s all coming back to me now.
But try as I have to keep,
The taste of you off of my tongue;
Your face from my fitful sleep.

An` I wait and hope against hope like before.
An` I wait an` hope that I won`t anymore.

An` this won`t stop till I do.
Until I learn to kill the thought,
Of everything I could have said:
Of everything I wished I`d not.

An` I wait, hope against hope like before.
An` I wait, hope that I won`t anymore.

Show rises up from the street,



An` a crowd rises up to it`s feet.
I followed blind after you:
I might know better if I`d ever wanted to.

Instrumental Break.

The painting here is still not dry,
An` I can smell it from the door.
It covers every mark you made:
The countin` days are keepin` score.

An` I wait, hope against hope like before.
An` I wait, an` hope that I won`t anymore.

An` I wait, hope against hope like before.
An` I wait, an` hope that I won`t anymore.
