Reasons for Waiting - Jethro Tull

"Reasons For Waiting," by Jethro Tull. Available on their albums "Stand Up," and "The 25th Anniversary Boxed Set (disc 2: Carnegie Hall, N.Y.)"


What a sight for my eyes
to see you in sleep.
Could it stop the sun rise
hearing you weep?
You're not seen, you're not heard
but I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
just to catch you while you're smiling.

What a day for laughter
and walking at night.
Me following after,
your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear
with the song that you hear.
If I can but make
the words awake the feeling.

What a reason for waiting
and dreaming of dreams.
So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes,
that are born in the sigh
of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light
brings the end to a night of loving.

These kind of lyrics come from a REAL man,who wants something deeper than just hooking up and meaningless sex. Things like tenderness.
