He hides there waiting all night

With legs crossed over asian-style

Her phone's been ringing at odd hours

She's planting sacred lotus flowers



Only on a true return could you find that you'd never left

(what's missing?)

Counting on an unpredictable tide for deliverance

(it's right in front of you!)

Scouring the countryside just to find that the enemy's within yourself



I've been waiting for you



Her teapot screams, "I'm ready now"

She dreams of Asia at odd hours

Red soldier sings to Chairman Mao

He guards his sacred lotus flower



Only on a true return could you find that you've never left

(what's missing?)

Fully unaware that time was a line that the mind could bend

(it's right in front of me!)

Swallow every verse and rhyme just to find that the secret's to embrace yourself



I've been waiting for you



I'm tired of roaming

Please help me keep my lantern glowing



Only on a true return will you find that you've never left

(what's missing?)

Counting on an unpredictable tide for deliverance

(it's right in front of you!)

Scouring the countryside just to find that the answer's been inside yourself!



I've been waiting for you
