You say it's time to be leaving
I'm in my dream to stay
Lying in the fields just awaiting
Watching the wheat flake away
The cold winds blowing in the meadow
The raindrops falling in vain
I still see you in shadow
To me you still seem the same, oh yeah
I see the sun slowly rising
(Over the hills and away)
It doesn't seem so surprising
(The way you live from day to day)
Come on make haste, you know you're gonna be late
(One day you might have to pay)
You may feel fine but you've run out of time
You've made up your choice not to stay
But in the meantime, I've waited, I've waited, I've waited
Love in your life has no meaning
You're into running around
You bet your mother by screaming
I see you down on the ground
The leaves are falling on your body
Covering all of your shame
The wind blowing in the meadow
Makes you clean again, oh yeah
We see the sun slowly rising
(Over the hills and away)
The birds are slowly arising
(Taking in their sun soaked day)
The dew from the trees trickles all down the leaves
(The tears of a once dying race)
Now you've learnt the way of life
It's time for us to part our sights
And go along our separate ways
But in the meantime, I've waited, I've waited, I've waited
