Waiting for the Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At first flash of Eden
We raced down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore


[Chorus]
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

[Verse 2]
Can't you feel it
Now that spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun


[Chorus]
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

[Bridge]
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong
This is the strangest life I've ever known
[Verse 2 Reprise]
Can't you feel it
Now that spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun


[Chorus]
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
