Ian Anderson - Reasons for Waiting lyrics

What a sight for my eyes to see you in sleep Could it stop the sunrise hearing you weep? You're not seen, you're not heard, but I stand by my word Came a thousand miles just to catch you while you're smiling What a day for laughter and walking at night Me following after, your hand holding tight And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear If I can but make the words awaken the feeling What a reason for waiting and dreaming of dreams So here's hoping you've faith in impossible schemes That are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by While the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving
