Lyrics
Verse 1
On and on, it seems we're still waiting
Daylight is fading and night's on it's way
Harmony seems so elusive
Your words so intrusive I'm sorry to say
Bridge 1
My sin is I'm always dreaming of you
But I'm wide awake
Verse 2
On and on, endless revolving
Doors I am holding open for you
Tenderly, I reach for your presence
And I feel your wave washing right over me
Bridge 2
My sin is I'm always thinking of you
They can say what they say, but I'll believe it came from you
So tell me a lie of the praises that you sing
Too close to deny and everything else that brings
So maybe I'm blind
Outro
On and on I fall for every word you throw away
Chase the chance at déjà vu and do it all again
On and on I fall for every word you throw away
Chase the chance at déjà vu and do it all again
On and on, it seems we're still waiting
Daylight is fading and night's on it's way
Harmony seems so elusive
Your words so intrusive I'm sorry to say
