patty larkin - waiting for the dawn lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a world outside
though it barely touches us
cross the ocean so wide
far from both americas
and i wake in the night
waiting for the dawn to come
what if i had no rights
living in south africa

[verse 2]
and i drive in my car
got to get to work on time
at the red light i swear
all this traffic is a crime
there’s a man at the curb
selling papers one by one
and i read in the news
another man and woman gone
south africa

[verse 3]
and the factories float by
i stare them down, then drive away
modern times, modern lives
all neatly tucked and filed away
five o’clock in my car
i’m listening to the radio
and i choose what i hear
keep my eyes glued on the road
[bridge]
ah, ah, ah

[verse 4]
shadows fall and my town
turns from gray to black and white
i am listening for sounds
something moving in the night
in my heart there’s an ache
every muscle tightly drawn
eyelids closed, wide awake
waiting for the dawn to come

[outro]
la da da da da, ah ah
da da da da da, ah ah
la da da da da, ah ah
da da da da da, ah ah
