(Gary Brooker:)
Perhaps I've lost my mind
and you think that you can help me find it,
perhaps you can.
I think we'll just end up in a dream.
But if we end up together,
maybe then we'll be in real trouble.


I waited for a hundred years,
all I did was wait every day, all day, every hour,
every second, all time.
I waited for a hundred years,
all I did was wait every day, all day long, every hour,
every second, all time.
Now when I look back,
it seems that I waited for only one day.
Now when I look back
it seems that I waited for only one day.
I waited for a hundred years,
all I did was wait every day, all day long, every hour,
every second, all time.

(Gary Brooker:)
You think that maybe I've lost my mind
and you'll be the one to help me find it
pretending it's yours.
And so I tell you we are going to turn into a dream
and then we'll be in real trouble.

I waited for a hundred years,
all I did was wait every day, all day long,
I waited for a hundred years,
Now when I look back,
it seems that I waited for only one day,
a day that lasted a thousand years,
a day that lasted a thousand years.
And I'll wait for you another hundred years,
all I'll do is wait, every day, all day long,
every hour, every second, all the time.
