Waiting for the Day

Waiting for the Day - Gerry Rafferty

Written by：Gerry Rafferty

Well here I am

Back in town

Just as the night is coming down

Warm wind blowing through the trees

I watch them swing I watch them sway

Lie here waiting for the day

Sleep won't come I need a drink

Stop my head don't wanna think

Wishing I could be with you

But I know you're so far away

And I'm here waiting for the day

Water of life pour your light down on me

Take me out of this darkness sweet star of the sea

Water so sweet you can open my eyes

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry

Out on the street shadows fall

Silence speaks

I hear it call

City of the living dead

Count the lights on the motorway

Lie here waiting for the day alright

Water of life pour your light down on me

Take me out of this darkness sweet star of the sea

Water so sweet you can open my eyes

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry

Yes here I am

Back in town

Just as the night is coming down

Warm wind blowing through the trees

I watch them swing

I watch them sway

Lie here waiting for the day

Alright
