MARILLION - Waiting To Happen lyrics

rate me

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)<br><br>I lie awake at night, listening to you sleeping<br>I hear the darkness breathe<br>And the rain against the window<br><br>After all this time<br>Cynical and jaded<br>All the stones are diamonds<br>All the blues are faded<br><br>Everything I've been through<br>All I've seen and heard<br>Spend to much of my life<br>In the spiritual third world<br>But you came and brought the rain here<br><br>Something waiting to happen<br>Something learning to fly<br>We can talk without talking<br>From inside to inside<br>I have waited to feel this<br>For the whole of my life<br><br>We took ourselves apart<br>We talked about our faces<br>You said you didn't like yours<br>I said I disagree<br><br>I keep the pieces separate<br>I clutch them in my coat<br>A jigsaw of an angel<br>I can do when I feel low<br><br>From emptiness and dryness<br>The famine of our days<br>Watch the heavens open<br>Wash it all away<br>You came and brought the rain here<br><br>Something waiting to happen<br>Something learning to fly<br>On the edge of exploding<br>Something wild and alive<br>Something waiting to happen<br>Anytime that you like<br>I have waited to feel this<br>For the whole of my life
