(Leo Sayer/Alan Tarney)
|
Nowadays they want a solider fighter
|
Not a preacher writer or a mystery man
|
Somebody told me that the future's brighter
|
Make tomorrow lighter put it in your hands
|
But I don't wanna cry anymore
|
Try anymore
|
Die anymore
|
Heaven knows I'm impatient
|
I can't control these hands of fate
|
Heaven knows I'm still waiting
|
Are they too soon or am I too late
|
Oh is that so
|
Only heaven knows
|
Well I wanna know
|
Tell me is that so
|
Only heaven knows
|
Heaven only knows
|
Here come the Romeos the brave I told you so's
|
The travelling G.I. Joes with come on lines
|
Here come the great defenders
|
Who think they can befriend us
|
Why do we all pretend to know these guys
|
Well I don't wanna wait anymore
|
Be late anymore
|
Hate anymore
|
Heaven knows I'm impatient
|
I can't control these hands of fate
|
Heaven knows I'm still waiting
|
Are they too soon or am I too late
|
Oh is that so
|
Only heaven knows
|
Well I wanna know
|
Tell me is that so
|
Only heaven knows
|
Heaven only knows
|
What a strange design
|
It's a planet out of time
|
Someone tell me why
|
Is the world like that
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
Oh heaven knows
|
I said oh heaven knows
|
Heaven knows I'm impatient
|
I can't control these hands of fate
|
Heaven knows I'm still waiting
|
Are they doo soon or am I too late
|
You resign yourself to a simple fate
|
To live your life by the sell by date
|
Haul yourself up the same old hill
|
Watch the world from you windowsill
|
We always want what we can't afford
|
So we listen out for the missing chord
|
The chord is there and it's in your mind
|
So why do you make it so hard to find
|
