And I have become much less   wide eyed for your indiscretions   And I can't understand why you've chosen me   To keep those dreadful stories   friendly      And your eyes are darker when   The sun hits your brow   You were young once but you're older now   You are older now      Standing in the shadow of what you were waiting for   Standing in the shadow of what you were waiting for      Will your faith be rewarded   And will you ever see   How can I know where you are love   When you're right beside me   When you're right beside me      Standing in the shadow of what you were waiting for   Standing in the shadow of what you were waiting for   You are older now   You are older now   You are older now   You are older now
