Waiting for the Day

Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day. Sleep won't come, I need a drink Stop my head, don't wanna think Wishing I could be with you But I know you're so far away And I'm here waiting for the day. Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry. Out on the street, shadows fall Silence speaks, I hear it call City of the living dead Count the lights on the motorway Lie here waiting for the day (alright). Water of life pour your light down on me Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea Water so sweet you can open my eyes You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry. Yes here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway Lie here waiting for the day (alright) Drums: Henry Spinetti Bass Guitar: Gary Taylor Electric Rhythm: Andy Fairweather-Low Lead/Rhythm: Hugh Burns Piano/Organ: Tommy Eyre Brass Arrangement: Tommy Eyre Percussion: Glen Le Fleur Fiddles: Graham Preskett Piano: Gerry Rafferty Vocals: Gerry Rafferty
