ALAN PARSONS

When

Written by Ian Bairnson


Standing around for an hour in the rain

Your porcelain promises break once again

Fill me with everything I want to hear

These are the same lines that I heard last year.


And you always seem to talk and walk away

Saying things will start to happen anyday

And I say when

So tell me when

And I say when

So tell me when.


I've heard so much about boats coming in

But I see no ships so, I guess I should swim

How did I come to get caught in your wake

The more that I give you, the more you still take.


And you always seem to talk and walk away

Saying things will start to happen any day

And I say when

So tell me when

And I say when

So tell me when.


Monday is Tuesday, then March becomes May

The days of my life are just ticking away.
