I never believed in what the old folks say
It's worth waiting for something that's been long gone
In twenty four hours I'll be on a plane
Praying to God I make it home again
With a stammer and strength I need to face the light of day
I'll lie right in your arms and wait
Until the suns up, until the suns up
I'm gonna lie here in your arms and wait
Until the suns up, until the suns up
It's only a day before I leave the state
I've been dreaming of nightfall with no dawn
And all I can hear is what the papers say
The march of the drums well dressed privates play
And the sound of our horns to tell the world we've lost our way
I'll lie right in your arms and wait
Until the suns up, until the suns up
I'm gonna lie here in your arms and wait
Until the suns up, until the suns up
I never believed in what the old folks say
It's worth waiting for something that's been long gone
It's only a day before I leave the state
I've been dreaming of nightfall with no dawn
