We Wait Too Long (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken] This is a song, "We Wait Too Long" that I wrote with my friend Jim Sclavunos from The Bad Seeds It's a stalker song [Intro] (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) [Verse 1] Stranger in the rain outside my glass Every night you pass a vision in my mind Your hand reaches out for the taking Danger tantalizingly near With somebody like you can be too heartbreaking For me to bear All the birds are singing out to please take care [Chorus] We wait too long For the moment to be right We wait too long For the perfect danger to alight We wait too long [Post-Chorus] (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) [Verse 2] I regret to say that it's so sad Never gotten 'round to things that I imagine that we try Waiting for a message to draw near That can dam the tears that well up in the twinkling of an eye [Chorus] We wait too long For the moment to be right We wait too long For the perfect danger to alight We wait too long [Post-Chorus] (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) [Verse 3] In tone, our common prayer is so contrived Ugly rumors have yet gathered Yeah, things are still polite But I will soon find something wrong For you to find in me I will bend the melody until it bleeds [Chorus] We wait too long For the moment to be right We wait too long For the perfect danger to alight We wait too long [Post-Chorus] (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) (Da da da doom) [Outro] We wait too long [Outro: Spoken] Thank you so much
