"Waiting, Waiting, Why ?"
I don't know
why I wait
When I wait you won't come home
When I don't wait you will come home
You'll sleep in our bed
Do you miss me
And why can''t you come home when I wait
I'm waiting
For you
They all say it's useless "get out"
They all say
Should I go
Should I stay
?
Why wasn't I given prescience
at an early age
Why couldn't I figure this out
It seems to be an easy decision
But love clouds such decisions
And here I wait
Because touching you
Was worth
the wait
before
