lyrics

Waiting For Elijah

The moon beams
Behind the screens
Soothing dreams I'll never know
A grey street
And two feet
Lay down a beat that's soft and slow

I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I wander with the clouds across the moon
I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I hear he mentioned he'd be coming soon

Was it so
So long ago
The petals turned in for the night?
'Cause time takes
Our best mistakes
And holds them face up to the light

I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I search the dark horizon for a clue
I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I hear he promised he'd be passing through

When I can't stand
The second hand
I light a candle and I watch it burn
Then I pour the wax
On the cold hard facts
Insomniacs like me never learn

I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I hear that some folks do this all their lives
I sit up all night waiting for Elijah
I hope I'm still awake when he arrives
