Lyrics

Wait So Long

[Verse 1]

I could never pretend that I don't love you

You could pretend that I'm your man

That's exactly the way that I want it

That's exactly the way that I am

And you call me in the mornin' with your troubles

Takin' it down town every night

I could never place the stars at night above ya

Got my hands in the ground and you know I'm right

[Chorus]

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

[Verse 2]

It's a coffee stained Earth everytime it happens

Laugh it up honey it ain't that bad

And the afterthought rose to recongnition

Like every other coffin that I had

And you Buick broke down in Winamurke

You fall to your knees and you pray to the Lord

Make take a poke at the politicians

Nothin' happends in this burnt out town anymore

[Chorus]

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

[Bridge]

Woah-oh

Ooh-Woah-Oh

Woah-oh

Ooh-Woah-Oh

[Verse 3]

And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

You know that I'll help you if I can

But I'm just a raindrop in the river

Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this

With all the bad habits that I learned

But it's better than your five-earned fornication

And the dirty money that you've earned

[Chorus]

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long
