Lyrics[edit | edit source]

William Patrick Corgan version

as i look down your street
and i always wish that you're with me
i walk, the world behind you
as i dream, of blackened suns

and i look, towards the east
and i see you there
in flames unaware

and i wait, day after day
and i wait, for you to come to me

as i think, of times left behind
and all the books, that we swore we'd mind
all the times we walked, along the ocean floor
in sleep, in slumber
in days numbered

and i wait, day after day
and i wait, for you to come to me

The Marked version

as i walked down your street
and i always wished that you were with me
and i walked
i walked behind you

as i dreamed a blackened sun
oh, oh
and i looked once it eased
i see you there my dear

as i think of times behind
and all the books that were wrote
all the time we walked on the ocean long
picking up the stars that stood as our guide

and i wait
and i wait
and i wait
and i wait

fade on violet
fade on violet
in the dream that was behind
and i know that we can build a hope

and i wait
and i wait
and then i dream
and we dream
that we hope

and i wait
and i wait
and i wait for you
