"You know who I am," he said 
The speaker was an angel 
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings 
Closed his eyes and moved his lips 
"It's time we should be going" 
 
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) 
Look back in anger,  
driven by the night 
Till you come 
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) 
Look back in anger,  
see it in my eyes 
Till you come 
 
No one seemed to hear him 
So he leafed through a magazine 
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away 
Very sane he seemed to me 
 
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) 
Look back in anger,  
driven by the night 
Till you come 
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) 
Look back in anger,  
feel it in my voice 
Till you come 
 
(Waiting so long, ahhh...) 
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
