|
Why don't you ask me |
|
How long I've been waiting |
|
Set down on the road |
|
With the gunshots exploding |
|
I'm waiting for you |
|
In the gloom and the blazing |
|
I'm waiting for you |
|
I sing like a slave I know |
|
I should know better |
|
I've learned all my lessons |
|
Right down to the letter |
|
And still I go on like this |
|
Year after year |
|
Waiting for miracles |
|
And shaking with fear |
|
Why don't you answer |
|
Why don't you come save me |
|
Show me how to use |
|
All these things |
|
That you gave me |
|
Turn me inside out |
|
So my bones can save me |
|
Turn me inside out |
|
You've come this close |
|
You can come even closer |
|
The gunshots get louder |
|
And the world spins faster |
|
And things just get further |
|
And further apart |
|
The head from the hands |
|
And the hands from the heart |
|
One thing that's true |
|
Is the way that I love him |
|
The earth down below |
|
And the sky up above him |
|
And still I go on like this |
|
Day after day |
|
Still I go on like this |
|
Now I've said this |
|
I already feel stronger |
|
I can't keep waiting for you |
|
Any longer |
|
I need you now |
|
Not someday |
|
When I'm ready |
|
Come down on the road |
|
Come down on the road |
|
My name, my nam |
|
Nothing is the same |
|
I won't go back |
|
The way I came |
