Story Behind The Song
Wrote this during one of my alcoholic husband's long binges; I spent years trying to "fix him" and have finally given up on it; there is a huge hole in my heart, to know that I love him but could not help him, and that he loved me in his own limited way but couldn't help himself. I miss the man he was, and could be.

Lyrics
Sitting on a fence 12 years and waiting, same thing since you came.
Looking for that silver lining to bring this blackness back to what I dreamed, long ago.
There's a light in your eyes I will follow
In your heart hides a man I still love
Restless dreaming leaves you looking for something
You tell lies for yourself, not for me.
In your arms I thought I knew love, but I'm not coming home.
I'm losing hope, I'm losing hope.
