Lyrics

One Time

[Verse]

One eye goes laughing

One eye goes crying

Through the trials and trying of one life

One hand is tied

One step gets behind

In one breath we're dying, ah

[Chorus]

I've been waiting for the sun to come up

Waiting for the showers to stop

Waiting for the penny to drop, one time

And I've been standing in a cloud of plans

Standing on the shifting sands

Hoping for an open hand, one time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]

One eye goes laughing

One eye goes crying

Through the trials and trying of one life

One hand is tied

One step gets behind

In one breath we're dying, ah

[Chorus]

I've been waiting for the sun to come up

Waiting for the showers to stop

Waiting for the penny to drop, one time

And I've been standing in a cloud of plans

Standing on the shifting sands

Hoping for an open hand, one time
