Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Aug. 30, 2007]

Arrive in a hive city somewhere in the east
Floating down a crowded street as though I am or I will be released
Elly's stopped yawning, clear blue morning, in mourning no more
Come and see the wild things that are just beyond the door

But there's an old man here
He claims that he knew you in another life
I'm not sure what he's sayin', Elly
Could it be he still thinks you're his wife?

I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Trinkets sing on a desert wind behind him
Where ghosts have laid their final claim to rest
But who they loved and what they thought they stayed for
Has crumbled in their last dusty caress

They were so blind
They were so blind

Hiding in a hotel room, somewhere in the west
I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place, but it remains unblessed
Things move around, my guitar sometimes plays itself
They say it's static electricity but yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf

There's a young man here, says he married you in another time
The children cry and ask where their mother is
Gonna have to let them down
Yeah, I've been hurt
Yeah, I've been around

I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you

Limpet shells are fading in the valley
Where once the sea had strength enough to reach
But out of the twisted metal of discarded fortune's curse
No one here can quite translate the verses that they wanted to preach
They were blind

They were so blind
They were so blind
They were so blind
I've been waiting, seems like eternity
I've been waiting, waiting for you
They were so blind
I'm still waiting if you remember me
I'll be waiting, waiting for you
