Lyrics
Waiting for the sky to clear BmG ABm A G ABm I'm in the dark The street lights in the distance Speak of some other existence But their afterglows persistent And my eyes just won't adjust It seems do stark The agony of ignorance Leaves it all just down to chance When will the fates now stop their dance It's down to win or bust G ABm G AC G A A7 AmG C DC G A A7 I can't stop my mind Telling me that I've been blind I can't stop the train Of thoughts careering through my brain I just want you near Sit beside me don't deny me Join me, waiting for the sky to clear BmG ABm A G ABm G ABm It's so unfair That the world is full of happiness But my life's in such a mess Leaving me with no redress There is no future I can see 'less you come back and say to me You care CD C G A A7 There are lights in the sky hidden from view Why must I hide my love for you
