lyrics

ooh it's been a long time and i think i'm coming around
all the saints outside are in their hospital gowns
and i know
i can't go
my legs are sick and crippled and i'm much too weak to march
but i remembering meeting you underneath the big brick arch
and i know
i can't go
the nurse she smiles sweetly as she wraps the bleeding wound
the doctor stands behind her and he's ghastly as the tomb
and i see
what's left for me

so i'm sitting in the window and i'm perched there like a bird
and blessed pilgrims underneath all walk the blighted earth
and it's clear
why i'm here
cause when they push you on your back
you brace yourself for the attack
you wait
it never comes
and when they tell you three weeks more
you ask what am i living for
you wait
it never comes

that night a raven visits and he bears you in his claws
and i can hear you shouting even over what you've caused
the lights go on
and you're gone
i don't think i can forgive you as they chain me to the bed
i don't think i could save you if it were you instead
the lights go on
and you're gone
prophetic visions strewn across the shifting desert sands
i shot an arrow in the air, i know not where it lands
or who it hits
and i admit

i dreamt you came to comfort me and i turned you away
but you can have the same dream ten thousand different ways
always new
but always you
cause all i am is laid to waste and all my crooked dreams in haste
can wait
it never comes
i can't get up to try to run so i wait for the rising sun
i wait
it never comes
