Wipe the sweat from off your brow
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna love you but my hands are tied
Could have had more doubt

I wanna stay here but I've been denied

Let's watch the clock until the morning sun does rise

Rest your daughter while your mother cries
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
I wanna lie here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt

Take the disaffected life

I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
You could have been his wife
You could have let him fly
Wipe the shadow from your eyes
Let's watch the clock until the morning sun comes out
I wanna stay here but I've been denied

I wanna stay here but I've been denied

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
All that you believe is here and now
Until I come again

I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied
I wanna hold you but my hands are tied
Men who ran the company, ran your life
Let's watch the clock until the morning sun does rise
