When I was waiting for your phonecall

The one that never came

Like a man about to burst

I was dying of thirst



Though I will never fade

Or get lost in this daze

Though I will disappear

Into the street parade



It's not too hard to cry

In these crying times

I'll take a broken heart

And take it home in parts

But I will never fade



I was in this place

By the first church of the city

I saw tears on the face

The face of a visionary



Though I will disappear

To join the street parade

Disappear and fade

Into the street parade
