Arrive in a hive city

somewhere in the east

floating down a crowded street

as though I am or I will be released

Elly's stopped yawning, clear blue morning

In mourning no more

Come and see the wild things that are

Just beyond the door



(Well) There's an old man here

He claims that he knew you in another life

I'm not sure what he's sayin', Elly,

Could it be he still thinks you're his wife ?



Chorus:

I've been waiting, seems like eternity

I've been waiting waiting for you

I'm still waiting if you remember me

I'll be waiting, waiting for you



Trinkets sing on a desert wind behind here

Where ghosts have laid their final claims to rest

But who they left and what they thought they stayed for

Has crumbled in their last dusty caress



They were so blind (rpt.)



(Steve)

Hiding in a hotel room, somewhere in the west

I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place

But it remains unblessed

Things move around - my guitar sometimes plays itself

They say it's static electricity but

Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf



There's a young man here, says he married you

In another time

The children cry and ask where their mother is

Gonna have to let them down

Yeah, I've been hurt, I've been around



I've been waiting...(rpt.)



Limpet shells are fading in the vally

Where once the sea had strength enough to reach

But out of the twisted metal of discarded fortune's curse

No-one here can quite translate the verses that they wanted to preach

They were blind



They were so blind (rpt.)



I've been waiting, seems like eternity



I've been waiting, waiting for
