Lyrics of Hope against hope

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

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
