From the 2006 album Waiting For the Time To Be Right
[Intro]
G Gadd11 G Gadd11
[Verse]
G Gadd11 G Gadd11
In this passing hour I'm left with only time
G Gadd11 F
In search of something I cannot fi-ind
Dm
The fire's light is gone but it's burning wings
Am E
It's glow remains on the side of the city street
G Gadd11 G Gadd11
But as the story goes she is only a Northern girl
G Gadd11 F
And I am dead to the world outsi-ide
Dm Am
So true to form, so quickly to be reborn into something I can rely on
Esus4 E
So it seems
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
I am waiting for the time to be ri-ight
C Dm C Dm
Endlessly treading water until she opens her eyes
Am G F Em Dm
And discovers I have descended out of sight
G7 C D
But out of mind is the one who can't keep up the fight
G C G C
[Verse]
G C G C
Maybe one day I'll put away good meaning behind me
G C F
And a painless and quietly town laying low
D#
Before when the fever broken by the memory of a precious boy
A# D# G#
And the pain of realization in his young life
D# F#
He's far too young to die
F#
The towers they put him down
D#m
He said I'm too connected with what is gone
A#m C
After it resurrected it might left it on me come
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm
I am waiting for the time to be ri-ight
C Dm C Dm
Endlessly treading water until she opens her eyes
Am G F Em Dm
I know I should heed most any warning that comes around
G7 C Am
Unless the good and the love we're having to live withou-out
F C F C
Comes the thought of carrying on believing that I know where I'll be
F C G
Thought is where the thing in the words hanging on the sigh that she'll breathe
G7 C
And I aim to pay for it all
C Dm C Dm C Dm
(Fade)
