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
