Waiting So Long

Did you get all you want? Did you see the whole show? So where's all the fun That we used to know? As the memories fade Way out of view I'd love those old days To come back to you I've been waiting so long I'm not feeling so strong Did you say what you mean? Did you mean what you say? About this new scene Is it really that way? But the blindness goes on You say it's not so But what do you know? I've been waiting so long I'm not feeling so strong Ain't nothing new, it's just the same old thing You got me singing those old blues again Angry music, words of fire Painted faces filled with rage Even then they sound so tired I must be set in my old ways If this world is unimpressive It's been that way for quite awhile I don't need no heavy message Just turn me on and make me smile Yes I've been waiting such a long time Just for something to ring true Now I'd rather taste the old wine Than mess around with something new And the blindness goes on The blindness goes on Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out in the pouring rain With my back against the wall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out with nowhere to go And the shadows start to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out on this lonely road As the wind begins to howl Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and grey Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone in this crazy world When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone. --- Waiting So Long - Supertramp
