Sit And Wait Lyrics
Sydney Youngblood
Lyrics
A year has come, a year has gone
Still hanging tough, the blues is going on
Fingers walk the edge of time
My heart is burning, I'm ready to fly
All we can do is Sit And Wait
All we can do is just Sit And Wait
They say: All we can do is Sit And Wait
All we can do, yeah, that's what they say
Sit And Wait, Sit And Wait, just Sit And Wait
I could run away and touch the sun
Where there's a spark could be a fire
Impossible dreams? Promises?
Still I ain't nothing, I ain't nowhere
All we can do is Sit And Wait
All we can do is just Sit And Wait
They say: All we can do is Sit And Wait
All we can do, yeah, that's what they say
Sit And Wait, Sit And Wait, just Sit And Wait
All we can do is Sit And Wait ...
All we can do is Sit And Wait ...
