Waiting To Happen Lyrics - A Sunday Night Above The Rain - Marillion

I lie awake at night 

Listening to you sleeping 

I hear the darkness breathe 

And the rain against the window 

After all this time 

Cynical and jaded 

All the stones are diamonds 

All the blues are faded 

Everything I've been through 

All I've seen and heard 

Spend so much of my life 

In the spiritual third world 

But you came and brought the rain here 

Something waiting to happen 

Something learning to fly 

We can talk without talking 

From inside to inside 

I have waited to feel this 

For the whole of my life 

We took ourselves apart 

We talked about our faces 

You said you didn't like yours 

I said I disagree 

I keep the pieces separate 

I clutch them in my coat 

A jigsaw of an angel 

I can do when I feel low 

From emptiness and dryness 

The famine of our days 

I watch the heavens open 

Wash it all away 

You came and brought the rain here 

Something waiting to happen 

Something learning to fly 

On the edge of exploding 

Something wild and alive 

Something waiting to happen 

Any time that you like 

I have waited to feel this 

For the whole of my life
