The Waiting Game

Graeham Goble
August 1st & 19th, 1987

One day all the rivers just stopped flowing
We all came to pray for rain
One need, together without knowing
Each to their own, we played the waiting game

One look, was all I ever needed
To be yours forever more
One night, I realised completely
That you were sent to end the waiting game

You know we're still building roads that never end
We believe we can make it without any friends
And we keep on pretending, some day we'll break the chain
And we'll end the need to play the waiting game

One time, I sat for days in silence
To release my inner pain
One world, a place that knows no violence
Content to sit and play the waiting game

You know we're still building roads that never end
We believe we can make it without any friends
And we keep on pretending, some day we'll break the chain
And we'll end the need to play the waiting game

Sometimes promises are all that's left
Since you went away I wait to see
How long you can stay gone from me

You know you're still building roads that never end
You believe we can make it without any friends
So you keep on pretending, some day you'll break the chain
And you'll end your need to play the waiting game

You know we're still building roads that never end
We believe we can make it without any friends
And we keep on pretending, some day we'll break the chain
And we'll end the need to play the waiting game
