I Sit Here Prudent

I've always lived through ups and downs
Into the fire of silent sounds
In love and hate I'm strong and tall
In the mild grey fog of alcohol
I was out alone - looking cool
With my football shirt from Liverpool
You came on to me like a waterfall
Through the mild grey fog of alcohol

Now I sit here prudent and patient too
Wondering how long

You came and went - I stayed a while
I lived the life to make you smile
I watched your life - it's rise and fall
Through the mild grey fog of alcohol

I dreamt of worms and lovers too
I dreamt of dragons that dreamt of you
I saw you disappear through a wonderwall
In the mild grey fog of alcohol

Now I sit here prudent and patient too
Wondering how long I must wait for you
Over yonder
I see greener grass as the sand is flowing from

Now I sit here prudent and patient too
Wondering how long I must wait for you
Over yonder
I see greener grass as the sand is flowing from
From my hourglass
