Waiting for the Day Lyrics


It was only for a fight
That I asked you to come in
But you brought me tumbling down
And the walls came caving inWon't you help me dry my tears
Help me roll away the years
Then perhaps I will forgive you
And the hurt will disappearBut in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away
If you'd given me half a chance
I'll be waiting for the dayFor the day that you
Oh, come back to me
Come on back to me
You oh, come back to meSo forget the long goodbye
You never really tried
Threw the keys down on the table
You've got your sense of prideThen you had to tell the world
Your story must be heard
Slammed the door behind you

Without a single wordBut in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked awayThe day that you oh, come back to me
Come on back to me
You oh, come back to me, come on back to me
You oh, come back to meNo I never had a single thought in my head
No I never had a single thoughtOh, for the day that you, oh come back to me
Come on back to me
You oh, come back to me
Come on back to meYou could be my life long friend
You could be the light of dawn
You could keep me close at hand
You could keep me safe and warmI will be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give you all
Waiting for the night to fallYou could be the light of day
You could be my life long friend
You could keep me close at hand
Waiting for the day to endI will be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give my all
Waiting for the night to fall

Erasure are a synthpop duo from the United Kingdom consisting of keyboardist Vince Clarke and singer Andy Bell. After founding Depeche Mode, Yazoo and The Assembly, Clarke formed Erasure with Bell when he found the singer after placing an ad in Melody Maker.

Erasure entered the music scene in 1985 with their debut single Who Needs Love (Like That). Beginning in late 1986 with the release of their single Sometimes, Erasure established themselves on the British charts; albums such as The Circus, Wild!, Chorus, I Say I Say I Say, Loveboat and Nightbird demonstrated a further diversity of sound.

The album that boosted their career tremendously was The Innocents, which was released in 1988. A Little Respect and Chains of Love both hit the Billboard Top 100. Most people will probably remember Erasure for A Little Respect, which became one of their signature songs.

Clarke formerly was a member of Depeche Mode and later had a successful career with the duo Yazoo (known as Yaz in the US). Later he split with Yazoo partner Alison Moyet and briefly formed The Assembly with producer Eric Radcliffe. After a successful Assembly single ("Never Never"), Clarke released an unsuccessful one-off single with vocalist Paul Quinn ("One Day"). He then placed a blind advertisement in Melody Maker looking for a vocalist for a new musical project. He selected Andy Bell, who was the forty-first to audition (and whose voice would often be compared to Moyet's). From the start, their success was founded upon their songwriting skills. Clarke's talent for writing melodic, catchy pop songs was evident from his years with Depeche Mode and Yazoo. Bell's gifts as a lyricist and melodist added depth and character to Clarke's style (additionally, Bell was openly gay from the beginning, and he reflected this in his lyrics at a time when society as a whole was more ignorant around queer issues than it is today - making Erasure's success all the more phenomenal). As pop craftsmen, the pair's work bears comparison with that of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Eurythmics, OMD, Alphaville, a-ha, Roxette and other pop songwriters.

Though their productivity and record sales declined beginning in the second half of the 1990s, Erasure scored at least one Top 30 hit with the release of every new album. Few electronic bands have demonstrated the durability of Erasure.

In 2005 Erasure made a comeback with their number one position on the US Dance Chart, eighteen years after their first chart-topper. This success was mirrored in the UK with the debut single from Nightbird ("Breathe") reaching number four in the charts. Erasure also enabled fans to configure and buy their own remixes of the single 'Don't Say You Love Me' through the band website. Each variant of the song was limited to a single download.

2006 saw the release of the album Union Street, which features a collection of previously released Erasure songs that the band have reinterpreted with an acoustic / country & western style. The album is named after the recording studio in Brooklyn where it was recorded.

A new album, Light At The End Of The World, was released in 2007.
