How can pain be sweet, even for a while? How come I'm full grown, yet feel like a child? How can you control me with a single look? How can I express these things in words or books? Where language fails music speaks So I came to sing you this song Tell you I'll wait for you a hundred years Let me in, darlin', let me in And I will stand, waitin' for the dawn Slippin' through the closet space and time You built a wall on my sandy shore But my waves will open up the door Oh, but my waves will open up the door Hey, yeah-yeah-yeah ♪ I know you've been hurt, love can take its toll How can we be sane, yet so out of control? I don't even think I ever made a choice To live and die just on the promise of your voice Where language fails music speaks So I came to sing you this song Tell you I'll wait for you a hundred years Let me in, darlin', let me in And I will stand, waitin' for the dawn Slippin' through the closet space and time You built a wall on my sandy shore But my waves will open up the door Oh, but my waves will open up the door Singing I will wait I will follow I will never be the same I will wait I will follow I will never be the same I will wait I will follow I will never be the same I will wait I will follow I will never be the same
