Bear's Den & Ciaran Lavery - Timbuktu Lyrics

Bear's Den & Ciaran Lavery Lyrics

"Timbuktu"

I thought I caught a glimpse when I was a child
A mother's embrace, a father's pride
I started thinking I might never find you
I looked through the hands of time
I have climbed and I have mined
I dug a hole in the centre of the world

How long have I been waiting for you?
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime
How long have I been waiting for you?

I could have swore that I saw you once in some drunken state
The bottom of the glass, a memory from the past
I closed my eyes and I imagined you there
I've chased every rumour about you
From room to room to Timbuktu, and I've
Stood in every hallway in every house

How long have I been waiting for you?
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime
How long have I been waiting for you?
How long have I been waiting for you?
More than a lifetime
Are you my lifeline?
How long have I been waiting for you?

It's every night in every dream
You're everywhere in everything
It's every night in every dream
You're everywhere in everything

How long have I been waiting for you?
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime
How long have I been waiting for you?
More than a lifetime
Are you my lifeline?
How long have I been waiting for you?
All of my lifetime
All of my lifetime
How long have I been waiting for you?
More than a lifetime
Are you my lifeline?

How long have I been waiting for you?
