Marillion Lyrics

Waterhole Lyrics

I lie awake at night

Listening to you sleeping

I hear the darkness breathe

And the rain against the window

After all this time

Cynical and jaded

All the stones are diamonds

All the blues are faded

Everything I've been through

All I've seen and heard

Spent so much of my life

In the spiritual third world

But you came and brought the rain here

Something waiting to happen

Something learning to fly

We can talk without talking

From inside to inside

I have waited to feel this

For the whole of my life

We took ourselves apart

We talked about our faces

You said you didn't like yours

I said I disagree

I keep the pieces separate

I clutch them in my coat

A jogsaw of an angel

I can do when I feel low

From emptiness and dryness

The famine of our days

Watch the heaves open

Wash it all away

You came and brought the rain here

Something waiting to happen

Something learning to fly

On the edge of exploding

Something wild and alive

Something waiting to happen

Anytime that you like

I have waited to feel this

For the whole of my life
