Waiting and Waiting
[Verse 1]
Still hanging on, but my hands are tired
There's a box of photos in a house on fire
You're a lost kid wandering the avenue
And you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you

[Verse 2]
I was with you, honey, when your heart was young
And I held you close and the stars, they hung
Waiting up all night to see the morning moon
Now you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you
Yeah, you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you

[Bridge]
And when I'm waiting on you, babe, it's a rolling tide
You know you get me low down, you get me high
I try to hold you, you hurt my pride
Try to let you go and you come back crying

[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

[Verse 3]
There's a song in you, but you can't find the lines
There's an old stone fence underneath the vine
I wanna be the one who can pull you through
But you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you
Yeah, you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

[Verse 4]
Still hoping to see you coming into view
In the silver morning, shivering in my shoes
And you made me every single shade of blue
'Cause you keep me waiting and a-waiting on you
Still hoping to see you coming into view
In the silver morning, shivering in my shoes
And you made me every single shade of blue
'Cause you keep me waiting
