[Verse]
One eye goes laughing
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying, ah

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop, one time
And I've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand, one time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]
One eye goes laughing
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying, ah
[Chorus]
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop, one time
And I've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand, one time
