Waiting For The Sun Lyrics:

This will be an uncertain time for us my love
I can hear the echo of your voice in my head
Singing my love
I can see your face there in my hands my love
I have been blessed by your grace and care my love
Singing my love
There's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun
And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know
For every step you're further away from me my love
I grow more unsteady on my feet my love
Singing my love
There's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun
And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know
There's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun
And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know
For every step you're further away from me my love
I grow more unsteady on my feet
Oh now there's a place for us sitting here waiting for the sun
And it calls me back into the safe arms that I know
Now we're waiting for the sun
Yeah we're waiting for the sun

I'm a song writer of 40 years and that's an excellent explanation of how this song evolved from an acoustic ballad to an epic rock song! Bloody love you boys!!!

I waited until things were quiet to watch and it's always bitter sweet. You guys really were an absolutely amazing group and I enjoy everything you're doing. Take care of yourselves, please Mate

My favourite song off a great album...that first chord hits you hard and makes you stop what you are doing and then makes you think back to different times of your life.
You guys were the soundtrack of my life in the 90's and 2000's

I think Powderfinger and INXS would have to be my absolute fave Oz bands of all time. Love you guys and was grateful to see you live at your last Brissy gig.

Favourite song off the album but really the whole album is amazing. Beautiful melody

At a The Church gig in Brissy with Ian on board a few years ago and was I happy when I heard the opening note of Waiting. The only PF song they played, my favorite :)
Thanks heaps for the mini expo of the song lads.
