Lyrics

First Waiting for You

[Verse 1]

All through the night you ran back, and the wind caught her hair

Like a joke for the rich and a lie for the poor

And it's easy to cry on my shoulder, it’s easy to cry

Dark is the night so the ivories sang

And its all in the business of making you happy

Well, I'm just waiting for you

[Chorus]

Waiting for you, waiting for you

Waiting for you, waiting for you

Waiting for you
