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
