Heroes always disappoint me

They ride away when you need them most

Oh guardian angel please anoint me

Before I turn into a ghost



I'm on the bridge, a boat is under

I watch it sail into the bay

Oh the days of wild and wonder

I never saw them slip away



You wait for me, I wait for you

I keep a place here in my heart

You wait for me, I wait for you

That's the best thing I can do



I'm in a dream, the crowd behind me

I try to scream, but who's to hear

And as they move in to surround me

That's the moment you appear



Wide awake, it's nearly morning

Sleep will ease a worried mind

And memory is just a warning

Careful who you leave behind
