You feel the world is rushing by you
 
 While you're waiting for someone to understand
 
 You tend to see love as an island
 
 Where hopes like words are written in the sand
 
 When the only door sends you back
 
 Nothing you live for, ever lasts
 
  
  [Chorus:]
 
 Every second's so slow, every hour's so low
 
 You wanna put your arms around someone who doesn't wanna let you go
 
 When the love you're in, baby just can't win,
 
 It doesn't mean you're meant to alone
 
 'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,
 
 And your heart will know
  
 
 You feel you're watching through a window,
 
 I know what you want is just beyond your touch
 
 Your heart flies any way the wind blows, while everybody else is finding love
 
 You're one sweet thing, your light of day,
 
 It was all you live for, turned away
  
 
 [Chorus]
  
 
 One day everything may change,
 
 The sun will shine, the day will come to greet you
 
 All the rain will blow away,
 
 When at last you find someone who needs you, needs you, yeah
 
 Gotta trust the things you feel, when you do,
 
 You know your heart will guide you
  
 
 Now you wait for the sun, and the morning to come
 
 When you can put your arms around someone who's never gonna let you go
 
 When the love you're in, baby just can't win,
 
 It doesn't mean you're meant to alone
 
 'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,
 
 And your heart will know
 
 The grass will grow, the river will flow
 
 And your heart will know
