Lyrics
I only brought 2 pictures
taken of you and me
but they're turning thin and flat
they aren't good company
the road is getting long
and beds are getting cold
the phone is getting stale
this deal is getting old
Love the one you're with
thats how the old song goes
but I'll lock the door behind me
and keep on all my clothes
(CHORUS)
so I will wait I will hesitate
I will wait for you
I'll anticipate
I won't take the bait
I will wait for you
The clock grinds out the time
and laughs in my face
at how I squirm and cry
to please pick up the pace
The calender doesn't lie
about our time apart
and there's no drug to buy
to heal my aching heart
So many fools around me
think love's a game of flirting
but I'll sleep alone in peace tonight
while they all end up hurting
(CHORUS)
Memories of your kisses are fading much too fast
I'm looking for the day that I'll be home at last
(CHORUS)
