Tall Stories - Somewhere She Waits lyrics

[Track #6]

Somewhere she waits for love

Somewhere she waits for love

Hush my little darling, don't you cry

Somewhere long lost words

from a soft lullabye

In a world where love can hurt you,

dreams desert you

An answer's hard to find

Full of faith, still something's missing

No one to run to

(chorus)

Somewhere she waits for love

with the open eyes of a little child

She's looking back for love

and the dreams she left behind

in a lullabye

Kill the TV set, switch off the lights

Keep the world outside locked away for the night

Smoky bars and cheap seduction,

false surrenders

Nothing much to lose

All grown up, the world seems colder

So sad and lonely

(chorus)

Somewhere she waits for love

with the open eyes of a little child

She's looking back for love

and the dreams she left behind

in a lullabye

A promise from yesterday surrounds her

as she waits there for love

Close your eyes, the spell is broken

Your dreams are calling

(chorus)

Somewhere she waits for love

with the open eyes of a little child

She's looking back for love

and the dreams she left behind

Somewhere she waits for love

with the open eyes of a little child

She's looking back for love

and the dreams she left behind

Somewhere she waits for love
