Waste away the days

Waiting on a new age

But the time betrays me
And I get older one more year

Walk London's windy streets

Go anywhere but home

'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
That only cobble stones hold

Only the cobble stones know

And I've never been so sure

That after all these years I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come

You've got a knife-throwing kind of love

But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that

Wish we could get the time back
'Cause I've never been so sure
That after all these years I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come

Wait for it

Wait for it

Now I'm staring at the sun

As if there's a riddle I'm not in on

'Cause the wolves howl to a moon
And she never answers back

No, she never answers back

And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure

That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh

Waste away the days

Waiting on a new age
