Lyrics

So I crawled down the stairs to the truth That is sleeping alone, on a bed The mosquito net weeping above That lazy old truth, been lying there for weeks So I throw myself on to the bed Onto the mercy of the truth Who is stirring and trying to cheer up the net And afterwards me and I'm feeling weak 'Cause I could go on, and on Deluding myself Waiting in the shadows I am waiting for something else To come along and put things in order Meanwhile, I raise my hands above the water Ready, I am in position Just promise you'll be here soon So all of the people around I don't wanna grow old like them Bracing, and grabbing too tight to not much But I start feeling tired a little earlier each day So I'm looking to re-arrange the dawn To tidy up the order of events And unwind every thread of regret But take that away, and what is there left? 'Cause I could go on, and on Deluding myself Waiting in the shadows I am waiting for something else To come along and put things in order Meanwhile, I raise my hands above the water Ready, I am in position Just promise you'll be here soon From now on, I just know things will be different See the waves? They're all nodding their agreement If you promise you'll be here soon
