Lyrics

Waving, Smiling

Found me down And honey, you left me down Turned right around Now, baby, I'm rising How could you know Wherever a heart should go? Well, you're on your own When you are arriving I've made my bed I've laid out all those tears I've made my bed Made up of all my fears All my fears Cried out all of those years Cried out all of those years Now, baby, I'm lying Laid out and smilin' Look out my window The sun is shining The sun is shining I'm waving, smiling At love forever, alive and dying I'm waving, smiling I'm waving, smiling At love forever, alive and dying The sun is shining The sun is shining
