Night time, see the castles burning, smoke in the skies
And tears in their eyes as the world keeps turning
Sleep now, hear a distant thunder, its far away at least for today
So close your eyes and wonder, spring turns so quickly to summer and summer so quickly to fall
It seems far away or it was yesterday
When time didn't matter at all and then you met your winter
While dancing with her daughters, too tired and cold
Were much wiser than bold, you wait for tomorrow to call
All of your life you have waited alone for a savior
He's not coming, a carousel horse who is constantly lost
Standing still but always running
And all of those things that you needed so bad
You have found they mean nothing
And oh, Lord, I'm coming home
I'm seaching through the haze thats drifting through my mind
Stare in the looking glass and wonder who I'll find
No one would listen to a man upon the water until he was old
And his mountains of gold couldn't buy any more time
All of your life you have waited alone...
