Lyrics: Oliver Gabbay
It was the talk of the town
Waters broke ground
Waiting for angels
Forests they burn all around
We don’t make a sound
Waiting for angels
Make our vows under sun burned skies
A serenade as trucks roll by
I would be crazy if this didn’t phase me
But I don’t have time for that now
If my chances look slim I‘ll commit any sin
To give you the best I know how
Hot light, long night, colours and sounds are not clear
We wait in fear and pray that the angels are near
There goes my child with no shoes
Nothing to lose
I once was a queen, yeah
They cut the power for days
Our turn’s been delayed
Waiting for angels
Dusty air dulls stars that beam
At times I think they can hear our screams
I would be crazy if this didn’t phase me
But I don’t have time for that now
The kings and their preachers they just give their speeches
We’re all in the same mess anyhow
I want to cut lose but we’ll never get too far
My hope is broke and your spirit is so scarred
I never asked favours
But now, I need the angels
Candlelight lanterns at night
Our future once bright
Now waiting for angels
Hot light, long night, colours and sounds are not clear
We wait in fear and pray that the angels are near
I want to cut lose but we’ll never get too far
My hope is broke and your spirit is so scarred
Waiting for angels
Waiting for angels
Waiting for angels
Waiting for angels
