(©Chris McMahon 1976)</p>

Day breaks, light into a dark world<br>
Stars fade, I see where I am<br>
Blue skies turn to grey inside me<br>
Flying high into the rising sun</p>

Don't wait for me any longer<br>
By tomorrow things could have changed<br>
It couldn't be the same<br>
The same...</p>

Seven stones, seven stars above you<br>
Dying in the courtyard there's one white tree<br>
Memories fading from the old world<br>
Living in a dream, but it's dead and gone</p>

Don't wait for me any longer<br>
I think already it's too late<br>
It couldn't be the same<br>
The same...</p>

I'm not waiting any longer<br>
By tomorrow things could have changed<br>
It couldn't be the same<br>
The same...</p>

<b><u>Comments</b></u><br>
Beautiful lyrics. Sounds like they are intended to convey Amandil's urging of his son, Elendil, to flee from Númenor if his attempt to atone for the sins of his people fails, and the fear and doubt that torment Elendil after his father's departure. The extended live version of this song contains additional lyrics. Artist Comment: "The extra lyrics in the live versions are either from "Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator (Pawn Hearts) or "House With No Door" also Van Der Graaf (H to He). Live versions could be anything up to 20 mins & would often include Van Der Graaf +/or Pink Floyd references!"</p>
