At first flash of Eden
We race down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun.
Waiting for the sun
Waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting, waiting,, waiting,, waiting,, waiting
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong
This is the strangest life I've ever known
[scream]
Can you feel it
Now that Spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
This is one Doors song that nearly got lost which would have been tragic as it is a great song. The band recorded it for the third album but were not satisfied and it eventually surfaced on the 5th album after getting a complete overhaul.
It stands out from the rest of the material on Morrison Hotel because it seems more comfortable on the Strange Days album.
It is a sort of transitional song as the band went from Acid to Blues and was recorded in their Indecision phase.
Originally written to be sung with a Paul Ferrara tune but revamped by Robby Krieger which excluded Ferrera from getting a credit on the album.
Krieger's guitar dominates the song which was to be expected as he was the driving force of the new version but receives able support from the band on what is a rather powerful example of The Doors instrumentally.
The song harks back to Morrison's rooftop days when everything seemed possible as the sun broke across the Los Angeles skyline and burned its way to the Pacific.
Morrison's mournful cry for something that never really arrived.
'This is the strangest life I've ever known.'
It certainly was true for Jim.
And in The Doors world it resonates to this day.
