Arrive in a hive city   Somewhere in the east   Floating down a crowded street   As though I am or I will be released   Ellie's stopped yawning, clear blue morning   In mourning no more   Come and see the wild things that are   Just beyond the door      Well there's an old man here   He claims that he knew you in another life   I'm not sure what he's saying, Annie    Could it be he still thinks you're his wife?      I've been waiting, seems like eternity   I've been waiting, waiting for you    I've been waiting, if you remember me   I'll be waiting, waiting for you      Trinkets sing on a desert wind behind here   Where ghosts have laid their final claim to rest   But who they left and what they thought they stayed for   Has crumbled in their last dusty caress      They were so blind   They were so blind      Hiding in a hotel room, somewhere in the west   I heard they brought a priest in to sanctify the place   But it remains unblessed   Things move around - my guitar sometimes plays itself   They say it's static electricity but   Yesterday it took twenty dollars off the shelf      There's a young man here   Says he married you another time   The children cry and ask where their mother is   Gonna have to let them down   Yeah, I've been hurt, I've been around      I've been waiting, seems like eternity   I've been waiting, waiting for you    I've been waiting, if you remember me   I'll be waiting, waiting for you      Limpet shells are fading in the valley   Where once the sea had strength enough to reach   But out of the twisted metal of discarded fortune's curse   No-one here can quite translate the verses that they wanted to preach   They were blind      They were so blind   They were so blind   They were so blind   I've been waiting, seems like eternity   I've been waiting, waiting for you    I've been waiting, if you remember me   I'll be waiting, waiting for you
