Heroes always disappoint me   They ride away when you need them most   Oh guardian angel please anoint me   Before I turn into a ghost      I'm on the bridge, a boat is under   I watch it sail into the bay   Oh the days of wild and wonder   I never saw them slip away      You wait for me, I wait for you   I keep a place here in my heart   You wait for me, I wait for you   That's the best thing I can do      I'm in a dream, the crowd behind me   I try to scream, but who's to hear   And as they move in to surround me   That's the moment you appear      Wide awake, it's nearly morning   Sleep will ease a worried mind   And memory is just a warning   Careful who you leave behind
