Analysis of FOR THE LONGEST WAIT
FOR THE LONGEST WAIT
the Time has come
the Time is now
the day is strange : indeed it is
the ticking of the clock on the wall
tik Tok tik Tok
for the longest wait and the softest wind's
everything seems so confused around this time
around
yet again another day has gone slipping away in to the darkest night sleep well tonight
tik Tok tik Tok the clock will eventually fade away
tomorrow is a brand new day
