  • True north is hard to find
    These long, long nights play tricks upon the mind
    I tried my best but I'm lost I guess
    What I thought was freedom was just aimlessness

    Now I'm waiting for Amelia to come in from the west
    Waiting for Amelia and the light is fadin' fast
    C'mon Amelia, you have got this battle won
    You know that only angels fly into the sun

    I have never learned to wait
    I yearn for skies my heart can't navigate
    It's been so long since I held someone
    And all my dreams of freedom they don't keep me warm

    Now I'm waiting for Amelia to come in from the west
    Waiting for Amelia and the light is fadin' fast
    C'mon Amelia, you have got this battle won
    You know that only angels fly into the sun

    Maybe the night was dark
    And the sky was a starry dome
    Maybe she lost her way
    Or maybe she just didn't wanna come home

    Now I'm waiting for Amelia to come in from the west
    Waiting for Amelia and the light is fadin' fast
    C'mon Amelia, you have got this battle won
    You know that only angels fly into the sun
