Van Der Graaf Generator - My Room (Waiting For Wonderland) Lyrics
Waiting for Wonderland)Searching for diamonds in the sulphurmine, leaning on props which are rotten,hoping for anything, looking for a signthat I am not forgotten.Lost in a labyrinth of future mystery,tracing my steps, all mistaken,trusting to everything, praying it can bethat I am not forsaken.I wait by the door, wonderingwhen you will come and keep me warm.I pray for the end of the night,hoping the light will still the stormwhich presently betrays me;helpless sea-monster stranded on theshore, marooned in an ecstasy of waiting.I yearn, although knowing that I shalldive no morein the tide already racingMy lungs burst to cry: "Finallyhow could you leave me here to die?I freeze in the chill of this placewith no friendly face to smile goodbye -how could you let it happen?"How could you let it happen?Dreams, hopes and promises, fragmentsout of time;all of these things have been spoken;still you don't understand how it feelswhen I'm waiting for them to be broken
