It Takes a Long Time to Wait
Climb up the chair by the window
You were looking for your friend
Mama said "they'll be here soon"
Makes me wonder what's in your head
Soon that's a tough one
All it means is not right now
And for you just a couple of moments
Are the same as a hundred hours
What to do
When all you want is forever away
Or maybe it's soon
Either way
It takes a long time to wait
We used to dream by the window
Lots of laughter, steady smiles
Something pure, something simple
Now I can't take a joke and there's dirt in my eyes
I've been trying to clean them
But there's dust on the other side
I see you so dimly right now
And I'm waiting
I've been waiting for things to go bright
What to do
When all you want is forever away
Or maybe it's soon
Either way
It takes a long time to wait
Keep a chair by the window
For the waiting in the night
And we pray for the morning
Though we can't find a hint of the light
Can you give me a window
Just a glimpse of what heaven is like
I've been looking for something
But I can't see a lot with these same old tired eyes
You were looking for your friend
Mama said "they'll be here soon"
Makes me wonder what's in your head
Soon that's a tough one
All it means is not right now
And for you just a couple of moments
Are the same as a hundred hours
What to do
When all you want is forever away
Or maybe it's soon
Either way
It takes a long time to wait
We used to dream by the window
Lots of laughter, steady smiles
Something pure, something simple
Now I can't take a joke and there's dirt in my eyes
I've been trying to clean them
But there's dust on the other side
I see you so dimly right now
And I'm waiting
I've been waiting for things to go bright
What to do
When all you want is forever away
Or maybe it's soon
Either way
It takes a long time to wait
Keep a chair by the window
For the waiting in the night
And we pray for the morning
Though we can't find a hint of the light
Can you give me a window
Just a glimpse of what heaven is like
I've been looking for something
But I can't see a lot with these same old tired eyes
