I'll Be Waiting

Tony Banks

Night and once again I hear you calling

In my mind you speak the words I long to hear

I see your face can even feel your breathing

Though I know that you are never really there



If I had been born bolder you would be truly next to me



So then

I'll be waiting I'll be waiting

I'm waiting just for you



To stroke your hair and feel your arms around me

To talk of things we did or we would do

Would be the kind of magic I'd believe in

But there's some things even wizards cannot do



If I had been born bolder I wouldn't need a magic wand



So then

I'll be waiting I'll be waiting

I'd give up all for you

What else can I do

I'm waiting just for you



We stand together in the evening sun

Unspoken thoughts we share as one

Golden light on distant mountains

Slowly fades as surely as the light of dreams



Don't think about tomorrow

In the darkness I can still believe you're here

If the power of thought can give a vision substance

Then in truth you are alive and close to me



If I had been born bolder I would take you in my arms

Who's to stop me reaching for you the only one is me



So then

I'll be waiting I'll be waiting

I'd give up all for you

What else can I do

I only dream of you

What else can I do

I'm waiting just for you

What else can I do



I'll be waiting
