Loud & Clear

It was never for lack of want
It was never for lack of anything
It was just never registered
No matter the words we all would sing

Foreign shores alight with wonder
Distant lands and distant tongues
I finally read you loud and clear
After all this time we're here
Underneath this glorious sun

Light a candle and say your piece
Never again speak of these things
Living this old reckless way
Holding out for some far-off day

I said I'd meet you wherever you are
However fixed your mind and heart may be
I finally read you loud and clear
After all this time we're here
You waited patiently
