Wait for It - Alan Merrill

I’ve been waiting for my ship to come in

I’ve been wondering lately how you’ve been

Hoping for a bit of news

But I never could depend on you

To show me the way back to where we begin

I’ve been drowning on a bitter sea

Coming up as empty as I’ll ever be

Nothing there to ease the fall

When I hear the curtain call

I draw back the blinds on my fantasies

Sometimes you need it

Sometimes you don’t

Sometimes you get it

Sometimes you know you won’t

Sometimes when you need it

You’ve got to wait for it

You’ve got to wait for it

You’ve got to fight for what you need

There’s a light in the distance

I see it every night

It breaks through the shadows

And it shines so bright

Everyone’s staring at it

Nobody caring that it’s just an illusion

No salvation in sight

Sometimes you need it

Sometimes you don’t

Sometimes you get it

Sometimes you know you won’t

Sometimes when you need it

You’ve got to wait for it

You’ve got to wait for it

You’ve got to fight for what you need
