hit or miss

Sleeping At Last

Hurry, hurry up and wait
Is how the waiting game is played
A thousand moving parts keep score
Inside the watch we can't ignore

So let's hurry, let's hurry up and wait

Much too tired to try
Much too stubborn to quit
On an island in between
The coasts of hit or miss
Are we settlers or are we natives of this land?
Only time will tell
On which pedestal we were meant to stand

So let's hurry, let's hurry up and wait
So let's hurry, let's hurry, hurry up and wait

Every cloud above's full of splattered paint
Every seed below lies patiently in wait
But a watched kettle never boils
A watched tree never grows
May we have our tea in the forest
May we reap all that we sow

So let's hurry, so let's hurry, hurry up, hurry up and wait
So let's hurry, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and wait
