about

Inspiration for Still Waiting:

A while ago I read a book I really love called "Musashi" by Eiji Yoshikawa. It's the story of a peasant who becomes the most legendary swordsman in Japan by staying true to his own path and developing his own style. Musashi has a childhood friend, Otsu, who falls in love with him, but he is so committed to the Way of the Sword that he denies her love, though she continually believes they are meant to end up together.

As I was reading the book I felt bad for Otsu! This song is for Otsu and Musashi :)

lyrics

Still waiting
And my heart is breaking
I can't stand another day
When you keep your love away

In my darkest night
I'm holding out for the light
Maybe I've been a fool to keep on loving you
What's not wrong isn't right
I dream about you at night
Maybe I'm just a fool to keep on loving you

I know your love is on the way very soon
Your love is on the way

Still waiting
And my heart is breaking
I can't stand another day
When you keep your love away

Is it all a mistake
The more I let my heart break
Tell myself just to wait however long it takes
I'll be yours in time
You're the only one on my mind
I'm bound to fixate
However long it takes

I know your love is on the way very soon
Your love is on the way

And I'm still waiting
And my heart is breaking
I can't stand another day
When you keep your love away

And I'm still waiting
And my heart is breaking
I can't stand another day
When you keep your love away
