I was borne upon that wave where no one goes No one goes I was borne into that light the highway shows Soon you won't be waiting Soon you'll only be with me Not another soul will be there Oh just you wait and see Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see You know that all these distractions won't ever come back for me They won't come back for me You're in the back of the line just biding your time Hang on Just like the taste of the wine, you know it's better with time Hang on When they tell you the price Mask your surprise Hang on So just get back on the road, get back in the car If they light up your fuse, you'll shine like a star And I get back on the track, get back on the train If you give me a spade, I'll bury your pain And all the flowers that grow from that fertile grave Will be blue as the ocean and they'll look like the wave I rode Oh please don't be fooled by everything that you see All these distractions won't ever come back for me Oh they won't come back for me You're in the back of the line and you're biding your time Hang on Like the taste of the wine, it's better with time Hang on When they tell you the price Mask your surprise Hang on Precious things and worthless trifles guarded by young men with rifles Watch the tide come take them all away. Take them all away
