Reasons For Waiting
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



What a sight for my eyes
to see you in sleep
Could it stop the sun rise
hearing you weep?
You're not seen, you're not heard
but I stand by my word
Came a thousand miles
just to catch you while you're smiling

What a day for laughter
and walking at night
Me following after, your hand holding tight
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear
If I can but make
the words awake the feeling

What a reason for waiting
and dreaming of dreams
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes
that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving
