You were streets ahead, I couldn't sleep a wink
Staring in the dark, by the light of your skin
At myself sitting, on a suitcase
Or as the sleeping youth, in the upset sleigh
.
They don't wait
They won't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
.
Listen, you can hear, the sound of the sleigh
The panting of the team, of all runners away
And all the gentle work, of the traces

Their jingle-jangle jerk, destroying all space
.
They won't wait
They don't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait
They won't wait
Just stay together
They don't wait
.

Wait, wait, wait, wait

Please, just stay together
.
They don't wait
They won't wait
They run with the weather
They don't wait
They don't wait
They won't wait
Just stay together
They don't wait
.
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Please, just stay together
.
