Lyrics

I can't let anything rest.
I can't let anything be.
I can't let anyone in,
When they open to me.
They try and fool me with gifts.
They're coming over for tea,
Singing 'Ooooo, Penelope.'
Ooooo, Penelope.'
I'm at this window so often,
It's turned into a door.
Darlin',
I've been looking out this window so long
That it's turned into a door.
I can't wait anymore.
I wanna know where you've been.
I wanna know where you are.
I wanna know if you're lost
In the map of the stars.
They try to pull me away.
They're trying valiantly.
Singing 'Ooooo, Penelope.'
Ooooo, Penelope.'
I could wait forever,
If you told me what forever was for.
Darlin',
I would wait for you forever,
If you told me what forever was for.
But I can't wait anymore.
I just can't wait anymore.
How am I to know
If you are lost at sea,
When every wave that crashes back
Whispers your name to me?
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
How am I to know
What you would want from me,
When everybody says
It's time to turn away from the sea?
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
I just can't wait anymore.
How am I to know
If you are lost at sea,
When every wave that crashes back
Whispers your name to me?
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
How am I to know
What you would want from me,
When everybody says
It's time to turn away from the sea?
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
Ooooo,
Come back to me!
Ooooo,
Come back to me...
Ooooo, Penelope.'
