[Verse 1]

There were frozen skies and fallen seas

When I took some time to count on me oh yeah

And the stars again spelled out your name

And I knew right then things wouldn't be the same

[Verse 2]

Now the storm has gone and left

We're back home and wonder when

Counting all the times I've prayed

And said I want it just like that

[Verse 3]

Time, money, color, stone

Dress, work, sex, cold

Sleep, look, touch, no

It goes on and on and on and on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Swallow the pride, take the pain away

Time to fly on through that day

Play the notes and spread the wings

Turn this mess into a silly thing

[Verse 5]

In our design, can't you see

We use up all our sympathy

Go ahead, I'll meet you there

When we're old and know we care

[Outro]

It takes a lot of patience on our part

To pray for the end of the start

It takes a lot of patience on our part

To pray for the end of the start
