Lyrics
WAITING ?TIL THEN
October 27, 2004 words and music by James A. Nelson
AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLE
IN THIS GREAT BIG WORLD OF OURS
THERE WILL BE LOVE & HATE &
MARRIAGE & DIVORCE & WARS
AS LONG AS THERE ARE HUMAN BEINGS
SIMPLY TRYING TO BE
THERE WILL BE TRUTHS & LIES & LAUGHS & CRIES &
A NEVER CALMING SEA
I DON?T WANNA WAIT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
I WANT IT ALL TO COME TO ME TONIGHT
ALL THE ANSWERS OF THE WORLD
DRIPPING THROUGH MY PEN
I?M UP ALL NIGHT HERE BY MYSELF AGAIN
AND IT LOOKS I?M WAITING, WAITING ?TIL THEN
AS LONG AS BLOOD FLOWS
IN THE VEINS OF EVERY HUMAN SOUL
THERE WILL BE BLEEDING HEARTS
IN THEATRE & ARTS & ROCK-N-ROLL
AS LONG AS I HAVE LOVE TO GIVE
TO EVERYONE I MEET
THERE WILL BE OPEN ARMS & OPEN MIND &
A HEART SKIPPING BEAT
(chorus)
IF YOU DON?T KNOW WHAT YOU DON?T KNOW
THEN YOU?LL NEVER GO WHERE YOU WON?T GO
AND YOU?LL NEVER SEE WHAT YOU DON?T BELIEVE
IT?S DEEP INSIDE OF YOU, WELL BABY IT CONSUMES ME
(chorus)
