(Penelope) waiting, waiting [1]
(Penelope) waiting, waiting [2]
And rule with me as his queen
And shoot through 12 axes cleanly
And though I never thought that it would end like this
And though it was so close to our kingdom, it was far from the norm, unless
But I don't know how much longer I'll last since I saw that storm
Cause I'd rather die
Cause I'd rather lie
I said I would choose as soon as I weave this shroud
I unthread all the work I've done
I would not have it any other way
I'm supposed to choose a suitor to wear the crown
Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged?
Just know I'll be here buying you time
Just know I'll be here [1]
Just know I'll be here [2]
Let the arrow fly
Oh
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
Once you know that your aim is true
Than allow them to think they've won
Than grow old without the best of you
That my world is all about to change?
They don't know that every night
Though I never thought that I'd resort to this
Though I never thought that it would come to this
Though I never thought that these would be the lengths we go for love
Time is fleeting, it's running out [1]
Time is fleeting, it's running out [2]
Time to be the man of the house
Time to be the man of the house (oh, buying you time)
Waiting, waiting
Whoever can string my husband's old bow
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
