Lyrics: Chris De Burgh. This Waiting Heart.

This Waiting Heart
Chris De Burgh

O Leon, O Leon, O Leon, Wellahiya,
O Leon, O Leon, O Leon, Wellahiya,

Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rhythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
When I'm hearing the drums in the night,
When I'm seeing the river of light, hey, hey,

Out on the water it's another world,
I feel the power inside of me,
The flame is here an now it has burn,
You can live but you cannot survive,
And it's something you cannot deny,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,

Oh I'm holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya,
Holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya,

And maybe tonight - tonight I'll go -

I'll go down to the river where my love will be,
This time - this time I know -
She will lay down beside me, 'cos everything comes,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart, hey hey,

Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rhythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
It is here, now I'm breaking away,
And it's fortune that favours the brave,
And the waiting heart, oh the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh yeah the waitinh heart,
This waiting heart - oh this waiting heart,
This waiting heart;

Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana,
This waiting heart...
Holding on I'm just holding on...
Out on the water I can hear them calling...
This waiting heart.
