lyrics

I will wait here, a paper boat caught on your branch,
a gambler showing the king of heart waiting for a match.
I will wait here, a roller coaster with no brake,
a prairie highway with only one exit to take.

‘Cause you’re the longest day of the year,
a glassy lake so calm, so clear,
a mountain range smiling at the sky,
a flash of colour singing out so high.

I will wait here, the earth as it circles the sun,
a Mona Lisa smile on the face of a nun.
I will wait here, a lost canoe upturned on the shore.
Okay with this but wanting so much more.

‘Cause you’re the longest day of the year,
a glassy lake so calm, so clear,
a mountain range smiling at the sky,
a flash of colour singing out so high.

I will wait here wishing I could part the sea,
fingers crossed that you’re still thinking of me.
I will wait here styling it James Dean cool,
keeping faith that I ain’t just playing the fool.

‘Cause you’re the longest day of the year,
a glassy lake so calm, so clear,
a mountain range smiling at the sky,
a flash of colour singing out so high.

I will wait here, a bull pacing round the ring,
a late-night technophile in line for the next big thing,
an outsider infiltrating the dynasty Ming,
a troubadour who’s lost his voice still trying to sing.

I will wait for a cloudy ground hog day,
for the winter to flee from your bright spring rays,
pleading with the heavens above,
hoping that they’ll send you home,
kneeling in the pews of love,
praying that I won’t be alone.
