License This Song 

• Steal my heart and hold my tongue
  I feel my time, my time has come
  Let me in, unlock the door
  I've never felt this way before
  
  And the wheels just keep on turning
  The drummer begins to drum
  I don't know which way I'm going
  I don't know which way I've come
  
  Hold my head inside your hands
  I need someone who understands
  I need someone, someone who hears
  For you, I've waited all these years
  
  For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
  Until my day, my day is done
  And say you'll come and set me free
  Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
  
  In your tears and in your blood
  In your fire and in your flood
  I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
  I wouldn't change a single thing
  
  And the wheels just keep on turning
  The drummers begin to drum
  I don't know which way I'm going
  I don't know what I'll become
  
  For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come
  Until my days, my days are done
  And say you'll come and set me free
  Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
  
  Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
  Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me Writer/s: Christopher Anthony John Martin, Guy Rupert Berryman, Jonathan Mark Buckland, William Champion
