How Long Have I Waited? Songtext
von Nick Cave

How long have I waited for your word, forever yearning?
As the days break, like waves upon the shore
How long have I waited for your touch, forever burning?
Lord, I cannot wait a single moment more


For the stag stands triumphant on the hill
His antlers rake lightning across the sphere
One bright day I will come and I will kneel
Within your boundless majesty so clear

When will I awaken to your love, sleeping love?
As the day breaks like waves upon the shore
When will I awaken to your touch, your sleeping touch?
Lord, I cannot wait a single moment more
