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
