Lyrics

I?m Waiting For You

It feels like it?s been a year now
Since the time that you flew away.
Now I know that half a week?s just short-term travel.
But you haven?t called since, like, yesterday.
My heart is fretting. The sun is setting.
It?s all I can do just to wait for you.

I?m waiting for you.
I?m standing by the stairs.
I want to hear you keys in our front door.
If hope will come through
I?m sure to hold you close
In a minute or two.
I?m waiting for you.

The blue jay outside the window
Is bouncing from branch to limb.
And I feel just like that bird ? so unfocussed.
My pacing?s wearing all the carpet thin.
My mind is stalling. My smile has fallen.
It?s all I can do just to wait for you.

I?m waiting for you.
I?m standing by the stairs.
I want to hear you keys in our front door.
If hope will come through
I?m sure to hold you close
In a minute or two.
I?m waiting for you.

I Just heard a motor stop. And a car door shut.
The neighbor?s dog is barking. Why won?t you hurry up?

I?m waiting for you.
I?m standing by the stairs.
I want to hear you keys in our front door.
If hope will come through
I?m sure to hold you close
In a minute or two.
I?m waiting for you.
