The Longer You Wait lyrics

You're young and in love and you think it's just enough

To keep you satisfied until forever

But what good is love when it keeps you out of touch

With the very things that keep it all together?

The longer you wait, the days are gettin' shorter

The farther you drift from the shore

The longer you wait to rise and look around you,

It may not be there anymore

You say you're seventeen and you swear you've got a dream

And if the wind is right, it's gonna find you

But what good is a dream without a dream machine

To take you through the obstacles that bind you?

The longer you wait, the days are getting shorter

The farther you drift from the shore

The longer it takes to rise and look around you,

It may not be there anymore  

Don't need his arms to hold you tight 

(Hold you tight)

Oh yes, those arms can hold you right

Don't let him dry those clear blue eyes

'Cause you know he's gonna get

You know, my sweet Loretta,

You know he's gonna let down in the end end

The longer you wait, the days are getting shorter

The farther you drift from the shore

So don't hesitate to rise and look around you

Just pick yourself up off the floor

(The longer you wait)

It may not be there anymore

(The longer you wait)

Just pick yourself up off the floor

(The longer you wait)
