All The While

All The While

I betcha by golly wow
She came in singing
As I went into a dream
I dreamt up yellow lights and the blue one shining
And then I laughed inside my sleep
When I woke it was still just morning
And the day had only just arrived
I sat up straight when I remembered we’d
Drank two bottles full of Sky
And then it came to me why…

Chorus:
All the while I’ve been waiting
For you to open me
All the while I’ve been waiting
For you to open me.

Well the sources of sources tell me
That I had fallen like a pie
I guess the years of being oh so certain
Had pushed me to the edge where I
Could not be just another sailor
Whose mind and body were so fried
Maybe I could be the lonesome hero
Who made the whole world cry
And then it came to me why...

[Chorus]
