Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't wait for long, my darling
All I have to keep me strong
All I have will go,
All I have will go
And I move on,
And I move on
And I am aching,
And I'm aching

I can't wait for long I'm sorry,
All I have has left me gone
I can't stay for long I'm sorry,
All that's left kept me strong
And I move on,
And I move on
And I am aching,
And I'm aching
And I move on
