Waiting For The Day Lyrics - City To City - Gerry Rafferty

Well here I am, back in town 

Just as the night is comin' down 

Warm wind blowin' through the trees 

I watch them swing, I watch them sway 

Lie here waiting for the day. 

Sleep won't come, I need a drink 

Stop my head, don't wanna think 

Wishing I could be with you 

But I know you're so far away 

And I'm here waiting for the day. 

Water of life pour your light down on me 

Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea 

Water so sweet you can open my eyes 

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry.

Out on the street, shadows fall 

Silence speaks, I hear it call 

City of the living dead 

Count the lights on the motorway 

Lie here waiting for the day (alright). 

Water of life pour your light down on me 

Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea 

Water so sweet you can open my eyes 

You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry. 

Yes here I am, back in town 

Just as the night is comin' down 

Warm wind blowin' through the trees 

I watch them swing, I watch them sway 

Lie here waiting for the day (alright)
