Waiting

(Album: The Islander - 1998)

If you've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever Yeah
You've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever
Your mind unwinds and your world keeps spinning round

Way south of any bordered country
In a land where the darkness is slow turning
In the twilight of a postcard island lie
Little ashtrays of industrial dreams
And you Yeah you Stranded on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
While you zoom Consume Little laughter from the gloom
Just to keep it all in the back of your head now

If you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever Yeah
And you've been waiting you've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever
Your mind unwinds and your world keeps spinning round

In the chaos of a river thrashing
All that water and still got to stand in line
Everything you ever wanted truly
In a word carved in stone just beyond your touch
Touch Thank you very much
Just to keep it all in the back of my head
While you zoom consume Little bandits on the moon
Just to keep it all in the back of your head
Well the world's unkind I am here to remind you

If you've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever Yeah
If you've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever
Your mind unwinds and your world keeps spinning round

A fine line's been drawn here
Your tidy world has exploded into pieces
A songline's been sung here It's part of you
It's in blood and tattooed to your heart

If you've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever Yeah
You've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever Yeah
You've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever now
If you've been waiting You've been waiting too long
Just when you thought you could go on forever
Just when you thought you could go on forever
Hah Oh
You've been waiting too long
Spinning out a line
Your mind keeps spinning out a line
You've been waiting too long
Too
