Longing to be anywhere but here An endless escape from day Where the monotony of the morrow disappears A release from this plague To my own I must go as I’m tossed into the fold Amongst the happy faces that seem to shine Somehow stirs an emptiness in my heart As I lust after what I search but never find The days full of hope and love Two kids grinning ear to ear Now a bitter decay begins to unfold As my feelings fade with the passing years How long must you wait How long must you hold on For a dawn that never breaks Like waves in the passing tide Now come and gone Yet it all remains same

Longing to be anywhere but here An endless escape from day Where the monotony of the morrow disappears A release from this plague To my own I must go as I’m tossed into the fold Amongst the happy faces that seem to shine Somehow stirs an emptiness in my heart As I lust after what I search but never find The days full of hope and love Two kids grinning ear to ear Now a bitter decay begins to unfold As my feelings fade with the passing years How long must you wait How long must you hold on For a dawn that never breaks Like waves in the passing tide Now come and gone Yet it all remains same
