Lyrics

Waiting For No One

Morning sun creeps up and midnight’s charm falls
The streets so empty they scream nothing at all
You sleep in your bed and dream of tomorrow
I dance, I dance in my head and write from the sorrow

Everyday goes by and everyday gonna come
I know I’m gonna die so we’ve got to run

But good things come to those who wait
We ain’t waiting for no one

So take my hand from me its time to cash in
We are proof that someone’s gonna lose, its our turn to win
I’ve been running, running so long and it shows on my face
So come on baby give me your trust and let’s get out of this place

Everyday goes by and everyday gonna come
I know I’m gonna die so we’ve got to run

But good things come to those who wait
We ain’t waiting for no one

Whisper of weathered stained smile hangs on your face
Footsteps stumbling in doubt will pull through with Grace
There’s a Mother with her Child in hand that shows this world how to be
So you can stay detained by your questions or come living with me

Everyday goes by and everyday gonna come
I know I’m gonna die so we’ve got to run

But good things come to those who wait
We ain’t waiting for no one
