Gerry Rafferty - Waiting for the Day lyrics

rate me

Well here I am, back in town

Just as the night is comin' down

Warm wind blowin' through the trees

I watch them swing, I watch them sway

Lie here waiting for the day.

Sleep won't come, I need a drink

Stop my head, don't wanna think

Wishing I could be with you

But I know you're so far away

And I'm here waiting for the day.

Water of life pour your light down on me

Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea

Water so sweet you can open my eyes

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.

Out on the street, shadows fall

Silence speaks, I hear it call

City of the living dead

Count the lights on the motorway

Lie here waiting for the day (alright).

Water of life pour your light down on me

Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea

Water so sweet you can open my eyes

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.

Yes here I am, back in town

Just as the night is comin' down

Warm wind blowin' through the trees

I watch them swing, I watch them sway

Lie here waiting for the day (alright)
