"You know who I am," he said

The speaker was an angel

He coughed and shook his crumpled wings

Closed his eyes and moved his lips

"It's time we should be going"

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)

Look back in anger,

Driven by the night

Till you come

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)

Look back in anger,

See it in my eyes

Till you come

No one seemed to hear him

So he leafed through a magazine

And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away

Very sane he seemed to me

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)

Look back in anger,

Driven by the night

Till you come

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)

Look back in anger,

Feel it in my voice

Till you come

(Waiting so long, ahhh...)

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
