Karine Polwart - What Are You Waiting For? lyrics

You've been waiting for the wind to change direction Waiting for the sun to shine You've been waiting for a new connection But you're walking on the same old line You've been waiting so long how can you wait a single minute more? You've been waiting so long you just don't know what you are waiting for You've been wishing for a gentle hand to guide you For a heavenly sign You've been wishing for a spark to burn inside you For a little bit more time You've been wishing so hard how can you now wish for any more? You've been wishing so hard you just don't know what you are wishing for CHORUS Some say the good things come to all those who wait Then again they might not come at all You've been looking to what's just around the corner Living for another day You've been looking to the distant skyline Looking like you lost your way You've been looking so hard for something Your eyes are getting sore You've been looking so hard You just don't know what you are looking for CHORUS X 2
