Lyrics

I’VE BEEN WAITING

I’ve been waiting like a dry field waits for a summer’s rain
Like a soldier home from battle waiting for that evening train
Like a sinner for forgiveness…
Like a gambler for some luck…
Like a beggar man's hat waiting for the day’s first buck

I’ve been waiting for you
Love, I’ve been waiting...

I’ve been waiting through these years of uncertainty and doubt
Like a hungry man out on the street who each day goes without
Like a prophet for his calling…
Like a warrior for some peace…
Like a free bird locked within the cage longing for release

I’ve been waiting for you
Love, I’ve been waiting for you…

Love, I’ve been waiting like a master thief who dreams of his parole
I’ve been waiting like a preacher man who longs to save a soul
I’ve been waiting like a like a mason for the wall’s last stone
I’ve been waiting like a lighthouse standing bright, yet all alone

Love, you will find me waiting by the sea
You will find me waiting in the park next to the old oak tree
(I’ve been waiting)
You will find me at the crossroads…
Or at the journey’s end…
(I’ve been waiting)
You will find me standing still, waiting just around the bend

I’ve been waiting for you
Love, I’ve been waiting for you

I’ve been waiting for you
Love, I’ve been waiting…

Love, I’ve been waiting…
Love, I’ve been waiting…
Love, I’ve been waiting…
Love, I’ve been waiting...
