Waiting in the Wings/Curtain Call

I been waiting, waiting in the wings,
For so, so long, now
And now you know, it's nearly curtain call
Yes, they told me, "Wait and see what the future brings"
Well, now, I heard that it seems, ever since the fall
And they told me, "Listen until the glory bell rings"
Well, do they know? It's nearly curtain call

I can see you, I can see you 'cross the stage.
You still shine somehow
Despite the crowd of dead hearts in between
In spite of it all, you just don't seem to show your age
You an' me have always been, you an' me love right now
Yes, we're loving right now. You an' me will always be
We will always be - we are like king and queen

In our heart, in our heart, earth is a garden
There is no one, there is no one who isn't worth a pardon
And our throne is crystal clear beams of light
We can see, we can see through even this darkest of nights,

You been waiting, you been waiting in the wings,
For so, so long, now
And now you know, it's nearly curtain call
Did they tell you, "Wait and see what the future brings?"
Haven't we heard that it seems, ever since the fall?
Did they tell you, "Listen until the glory bell rings?"
Well, do they know?
It's nearly curtain call.
It's nearly curtain call
