Patiently Waiting

I'm patiently waiting for some kind of insane ecstasy
      Watching with curious brown eyes 
        As dusk turns to light  
         and dawn turns night
           You amuse me 
             In so many ways 
             My desire for you
                 Never  fluctuates 
                I feel myself falling 
                 Lower like the economy 
                  during The great depression 
                       I want you 
                     On a clear blue sky 
                       In a thunder storm
                         Or even when 
                          The Eye of a hurricane 
                              Is currently passing through 
                                 Cause you change my forecast
                                         I should always carry suntan lotion 
                                              Cause you keep me warm 
                                              You fill the empty piece in me
                                                      I could never envision  
                                                       making you cry
                                                         I can only envision us happy                           
                                                               and you want to know why?
                                                             Cause I've been patiently waiting
                                                                   For the opportunity to touch gold
                                                                      To just hold it for one moment 
                                                                            To get a taste of happiness
                                                                            that I know I can find with you
