This Must Be The Place I've Waited Years To Leave Songtext / Lyric

Each morning after Sunblest

Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic

I waited by the staffroom

In time for benediction



Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love, there's confusion

This must be the place I waited years to leave



To our voices nobody's listening

We shiver in the rain by the touchline

Then a coach ride to the station

My Lord, the carriage awaiteth






Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love, there's confusion

This must be the place I waited years to leave

This must be the place I waited years to leave

And how, how long?



I'm listening to the words I thought I'd never hear again

A litany of saints and other ordinary men

Kneeling on the parquet, whatever has gone wrong?

The fear and feeling hopelessness, I don't want to belong



I dreamt I was back in uniform

And a candidate for examination

History, someone had blundered

And a voice rapped, “Knuckle under"



Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love, there's confusion

This must be the place I waited years to leave

This must be the place I waited years to leave



And how

And how

How long?
