Patti Smith - waiting underground lyrics

All your hope is gone

Down the drain of your humankind

The time has arrived

You be waiting here as I was

In a snow white shroud

Waiting underground

There by the ridge

Be a gathering

Beneath the pilgrim moon

There we shall await

The beat of your feet

Hammering the earth

Where the great ones tremble

In their snow white shrouds

Waiting underground

If you see the kingdom

Come come along

Waiting by the ridge

There'll be a gathering

Beneath the pilgrim moon

Where the railroad thunders

There we shall await

The beat of your feet

Hammering the earth

And as the earth resounds

Where the great ones tremble

And your humankind

Will come as one

Then we will arise

In our snow white shrouds

We will be as one

But until that day

We will just wait

In our snow white shrouds

Waiting underground

In our snow white shrouds

Waiting underground

(repeat and fade
