a black cloud hangs

we wait and wait and do not see the stars
our minds are driven not by thought but fear
we know that all that you can do is stare

the storm has left behind nothing but spars
but we are certain that you still won't dare
we wait and wait and do not see the stars

the silent millions lonely in their cars
have nothing in their hearts worthy to spare
they look upon us and they do not care
we wait and wait and do not see the stars
