Wait - Sarah McLachlan

作词：Sarah McLachlan

作曲：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
