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
