Blues Traveler - Amber Awaits Lyrics

Well I guess it bothers me
Because I can't convince her of a thing.
I can't talk my way.
I can't even sing.

And then it builds into this quest
Until I come to rest at last
And admit I couldn't tell;
I could only ask.

And then I'm freshly daunted
By the prospect of her eyes
As she lets me down
With a gentle lie.

Bad luck to force an angel's smile.
They say it only hurts a while,
But I've been falling
For a thousand miles.

Amber danced upon a flame.
Nothing could be made the same.
Not so much broken as changed.
Amber far above the moon,
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon.

I want to see
If Amber waits for me.

Well I hope I can appreciate
How lucky I could be
If she only would
Take a look at me.

Because I think I could deserve someone
Who could be so kind.
It's new to me,
But I don't mind.

Amber danced upon a flame.
Nothing could be made the same.
Not so much broken as changed.
Amber far above the moon,
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon.

Amber danced upon a flame.
Nothing could be made the same.
Not so much broken as changed.
Amber far above the moon,
Smiling down and shining through
I hope that I could get there soon.

Amber sails to Timbuktu
There's nothing more that I could do.
Not so much hopeless as blue.
Amber makes me feel alive
And something in me does revive.
But it only works if she believes my eyes.

I want to see
If Amber waits for me.
