We, could be the last two on earth
To start a new world
Just you and me, girl
Try, and you can almost see
How it could be, just you and me
Lost, trapped in the freezing cold
Barely alive, have to make love to survive
I’ll show you how it’s done
We’ll take it as it comes
A rocket to the sun
I don’t want to wait anymore
I just don’t think I have the strength
The strength to carry on
Oh, I don’t want to wait anymore
I waited so long
Forgot what I’m waiting for
Stranded on a desert isle
With no one around
For thousand of miles
Imagine any place
This is what it takes
But don’t tell me to wait
I don’t want to wait anymore
I just don’t think I have the strength
The strength to carry on
Oh, I don’t want to wait anymore
I waited so long
Forgot what I’m waiting for
I don’t want to wait anymore
I just don’t think I have the strength
The strength to carry on
Oh, I don’t want to wait anymore
I waited so long
Forgot what I’m waiting for
Forgot what I’m waiting for, whoa
I don’t want to wait anymore
I just don’t think I have the strength
The strength to carry on
Oh, I don’t want to wait anymore
I waited so long
Forgot what I’m waiting for
This whole album is a joy from start to finish, including the sleeve design. This song in particular has the power to pop up again at some stage in the future when it’s covered by someone with good pipes, good taste and a producer who can dip into the past and make it a hit all over again.
Glad that Foster let The Tubes do this one instead of throwing it on a Chicago album. Spooner has a lot of raw emotion in his voice here. Fee would have sung it well but without the same feeling.
started the chainsaw today and said to myself lets make some noise .....holy shit flashback straight on here to listen to this classic does that make sense to anybody
This is what power ballads of the 80's SHOULD have sounded like. Sadly, they generally did NOT. This is far more complex and beautiful in chord structure and melody than what we had to endure from all the popular bands of that era.
