lyrics

Waiting Words Terry Lee Ransom/Music Jan Hauenstein

(C) (C5) (D) (D5) (G) (D)
There's a (G)bus stop at the (D)edge of (Em)town,
Full of (C)stray gray (C/B)men and (D)tears,
They (G)wait for the truth of (D)life to (Em)pass
Through the (Am)dusty, (Am7)bitter (D)years.
She's the (C)dream that never (D)did (C)come (G)down
On the (B7)journey through their (Em)lives,
And I (Am)wonder where the (Fj7)wonder goes,
It so (C)quickly (C5)turns to (D)lies. (D4) (D)

And I'm (C)waiting for the (D)rain to (G)stop,
(Em)Waiting for the (Am7)clouds to (D)rise,
(C)Waiting for the (D)dream to (G)come a(Em)gain
And (C)shake the fear loose (D)from my (Em)eyes,
And (C)shake the fear loose (D6/B)from my (Em)eyes. (Em9) (Em) (D) (D2) (D)

The (G)night slides on from (D)edge to (Em)edge,
Selling (C)souls to (C/B)pierce the (D)wall,
Down (G)darkened streets still (D)incom(Em)plete
As the (Am)weary (Am7)spirits (D)fall.
A (C)scene so real it (D)cuts (C)through (G)time
On the (B7)journey through their (Em)lives,
And I (Am)wonder where the (Fj7)wonder goes,
And how a (C)dream so (C5)softly (D)dies. (D4) (D)

And I'm (C)waiting for the (D)rain to (G)stop,
(Em)Waiting for the (Am7)clouds to (D)rise,
(C)Waiting for the (D)dream to (G)come a(Em)gain
And (C)shake the fear loose (D)from my (Em)eyes,
And (C)shake the fear loose (D6/B)from my (Em)eyes. (Em9) (Em) (D) (D2) (D)

She (G)came to me on a (D)friendly (Em)wind
With a (C)whisper (C/B) and a (D)tune,
The (G)warmth of laughing (D)children,(Em)
Counting (Am)rings a(Am7)round the (D)moon.
Her (C)eyes saw secrets (D)in (C)my (G)heart
As she (B7)wrapped me in her (Em)love,
Then (Am)slipped away on (Fj7)silken words
While the (Am)moon grew (Am7)cold a(D)bove. (D4) (D)

And I'm (C)waiting for the (D)rain to (G)stop,
(Em)Waiting for the (Am7)clouds to (D)rise,
(C)Waiting for the (D)dream to (G)come a(Em)gain
And (C)shake the fear loose (D)from my (Em)eyes,
And (C)shake the fear loose (D6/B)from my (Em)eyes. (Em9) (Em)
And (C)shake the fear loose (D)from my (Em)eyes. (C) (B7#5) (Em)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
