I'll Be Waiting, lyric by Tony Banks

from the songs album Bankstatement

Night and once again i hear you calling
In my mind you speak the words i long to hear
I see your face can even feel your breathing
Though i know that you are never really there

If i had been born bolder you would be truly next to me

So then
I'll be waiting i'll be waiting
I'm waiting just for you

To stroke your hair and feel your arms around me
To talk of things we did or we would do
Would be the kind of magic i'd believe in
But there's some things even wizards cannot do

If i had been born bolder i wouldn't need a magic wand

So then
I'll be waiting i'll be waiting
I'd give up all for you
What else can i do
I'm waiting just for you

We stand together in the evening sun
Unspoken thoughts we share as one
Golden light on distant mountains
Slowly fades as surely as the light of dreams

Don't think about tomorrow
In the darkness i can still believe you're here
If the power of thought can give a vision substance
Then in truth you are alive and close to me

If i had been born bolder i would take you in my arms
Who's to stop me reaching for you the only one is me

So then
I'll be waiting i'll be waiting
I'd give up all for you
What else can i do
I only dream of you
What else can i do
I'm waiting just for you
What else can i do

I'll be waiting
