Waiting For The Moon To Rise

Belle And Sebastian

All the way back home


I'm telling you I caught the sun


Creeping up behind my shoulder


And another day's begun


I was following a trail


I'd never been along before


Chasing darkened skies above me


Looking like the spring


Like the winter


And the morning





If there's a place I want to go


Then I'll be there with you


'Cos in my dreams the things


I'm wishing for


Keep coming true


Now a new day comes


Clears the darkness out of sight


And the shadows that were sleeping


Come and dance beneath the light


And I'm trying hard to hide


Keeping the sun out of my eyes


Close them tight


And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise





Don't try to say to me


That this was never meant to be


'Cos the days are long where I come from


The next few days I'm free


There's a train I want to catch


But it won't leave here for a while


Till darkness fills the eastern sky


And streetlights stretch for miles


Through the spring


And the winter and the morning
