joel ansett - it takes a long time to wait lyrics

[verse 1]
climb up the chair by the window
you were looking for your friend
mama said “they’ll be here soon”
makes me wonder what’s in your head
“soon” that’s a tough one
all it means is not right now
and for you just a couple of moments
are the same as a hundred hours

[chorus]
what to do?
when all you want is forever away
or maybe it’s soon
either way
it takes a long time to wait

[verse 2]
we used to dream by the window
lots of laughter, steady smiles
something pure, something simple
now i can’t take a joke and there’s dirt in my eyes
i’ve been trying to clean ’em
but there’s dust on the other side
i see you so dimly right now
and i’m waiting
i’ve been waiting for things to go bright
[chorus]
what to do?
when all you want is forever away
or maybe it’s soon
either way
it takes a long time to wait

[verse 3]
keep a chair by the window
for the waiting in the night
and we pray for the morning
though we can’t find a hint of the light
can you give me a window?
just a glimpse of what heaven is like
i’ve been looking for something
but i can’t see a lot with these same old tired eyes
