Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All through the night we drove
And the wind caught her hair
And we parked on the beach
In the cool evening air
Well, sometimes it's better not to say anything at all
[Verse 2]
Your body is an anchor
Never asked to be free
Just want to stay in the business
Of making you happy
Well, I'm just waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
[Verse 3]
A priest runs through the chapel
All the calendars are turning
A Jesus freak on the street
Says He is returning
Well, sometimes a little bit of faith
Can go a long, long way
[Verse 4]
Your soul is my anchor
I never asked to be freed
Well, sleep now, sleep now
Take as long as you need
'Cause I'm just waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
To return
To return
To return
