why must you wait why must you wait why must you wait for the sky to fall your brittle fingers your eyes i recall your shy heart and your stone walls why must i wait when you have not called you ve never been kissed never been kissed never been kissed by the paper prince you light your fires of words on pyres you ll never be what your mind desires you only imagine what it is that you have missed and its gone long gone in the fearless hum of a lonely song i am a child i am a child i am a child of waiting the tears will fall upon my strings i ll bow my head and my voice will sing i never knew how tightly i could cling we never can change never can change never can change or wash the stains but who am i to hold the reigns the stead i ride she has no name and its gone long gone in the fearless hum of a lonely song no one will know no one will know no one will know how the end of it goes the story that has already been told our eyes were closed through the rhythm and prose we will wake as the last line closes and its gone long gone in the fearless hum of a lonely song
