The Waiting Songtext
von Arrows to Athens

You do your best not to notice-
The crumbling ground beneath your feet.
The rest of life is waiting for us,
But what we′ve done will never leave.

Fate still holds us.
We work our life to ease a conscience,
And fill the Earth to set it free.
'Cause truth will rise up to the surface-
And present words won′t change a thing.

But we can't shake the screams in the night,
And our hearts race 'cause the dreams never die.
But we try to drown these memories-
Over, over...
Waiting, never sleep.

There′s absolution for what′s stolen-
At least we believed it all along.
To end the doubt to cut us open-
We must learn to live without what's gone.
In the wake of the moment-


′Cause we can't shake the screams in the night,
And our hearts race ′cause the dreams never die.
But we try to drown these memories-
Over, over...
Waiting, never sleep.

And the waiting-
Watching us.

There's absolution for what′s stolen-
At least we believed it all along.

But we can't shake the screams in the night,
And our hearts race, 'cause the dreams never die.
But we try to drown these memories-
Over, over...
Waiting, never sleep.
Over, over...
Waiting, never sleep-
Never sleep.
Though we try to drown these memories-
Over, over...
Waiting, never sleep.

(Waiting, watching now...)
