Bankstatement Released August 1989 Recorded 1988-1989 Written by Tony Banks Vocal Alistair Gordon
Night and once again I hear you calling In my mind you speak the words I long to hear I see your face can even feel your breathing Though I know that you are never really there
If I had been born bolder you would be truly next to me
So then I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'm waiting just for you
To stroke your hair and feel your arms around me To talk of things we did or we would do Would be the kind of magic I'd believe in But there's some things even wizards cannot do
If I had been born bolder I wouldn't need a magic wand
So then I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'd give up all for you What else can I do I'm waiting just for you
We stand together in the evening sun Unspoken thoughts we share as one Golden light on distant mountains Slowly fades as surely as the light of dreams
Don't think about tomorrow In the darkness I can still believe you're here If the power of thought can give a vision substance Then in truth you are alive and close to me
If I had been born bolder I would take you in my arms Who's to stop me reaching for you the only one is me
So then I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'd give up all for you What else can I do I only dream of you What else can I do I'm waiting just for you What else can I do
