Waiting for the Day

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)
