Wait Lyrics - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy - Sarah Mclachlan

Under a blackened sky 

Far beyond the glaring streetlights 

Sleeping on empty dreams 

The vultures lie in wait 

You lay down beside me then 

You were with me every waking hour 

So close I could feel your breath 

When all we wanted was the dream 

To have and to hold that precious little thing 

Like every generation yields 

The new born hope unjaded by their years 

Pressed up against the glass 

I found myself wanting sympathy 

But to be consumed again 

Oh I know would be the death of me 

And there is a love that's inherently given 

A kind of blindness offered to appease 

And in that light of forbidden joy 

Oh I know I won't receive it 

When all we wanted was the dream 

To have and to hold that precious little thing 

Like every generation yields 

The newborn hope unjaded by their years 

You know if I leave you now 

It doesn't mean that I love you any less 

It's just the state I'm in 

I can't be good to anyone else like this 

When all we wanted was the dream 

To have and to hold that precious little thing 

Like every generation yields 

The new born hope unjaded by their years
