33, I've been on the edge findin'
Where my head fits in, all the lives I've led
22, never left the island
So convinced I'd be what I would become
20 years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you

20 years I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holdin', never lost my vision
Time is on my side, time is on my side

41, I've done things I'd murder for
Raisin' boys is a pedal to the floor
I was twelve, I was flexin' muscle in
Dirty mirrors and you were bein' formed
20 years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you

20 years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that I'm holdin', never lost my vision
But time is on my side, time is on my side

64, will I still be waitin'?
Combed my hair back to try to stop the past
You'll be gone, you'll be livin' large in three
City's far away, I will be in you

20 years sat on the brink, I am a riverbank
Oh, Lord, I'm waitin' for you

20 years, I've written my lines, so long I'm mummified
And the river that's still holdin', never lost my vision
Time is on my side, time is on my side
Oh, Lord
