Waiting, waiting still

[VERSE 1]
My baby says she loves me after a bottle of wine
And she's all in the mornin' and she's all in the night
Doesn't need no stopwatch, you don't waste her time
She says you only get it once, and you better get it right
So I've been tryin' to cross that river back on up where I'm from
But I've lost the map so long ago and I was young
Well this once was a feast, now I'm just hopin' for crumbs
And they drop 'em down every so often

[Chorus]
Well this life sure is hard to beat
Shattered street lights abandon cars layin' passed out in the street
And thе doctor told me 'wait for us, up on the hill'
And I've been waitin', I'm waitin' still

[VERSE 2]
So how long it gonna bе until I get my time
And how come you're never here when I'm bout to get mine
Well, this world's made of tomorrows
And never what's been left behind
And every time I try to see it, it just robs me blind

[Chorus]
Well this life sure is hard to beat
Shattered street lights abandon cars layin' passed out in the street
And the doctor told me 'wait for us, up on the hill'
And I've been waitin', I'm waitin' still

[VERSE 3]
The beauty in the wilted of these flowers
In the early hours doesn't matter much
Oh, and it's always those who have taken the least
That understand the b[?] and how to touch
So I've been wadin' in that water headin' on down to the sea
Where they tell me that one day my restin' place is gonna be
When I get too far from shore it seems to dry up at my feet
They're beautiful words, but no one dares to speak

[OUTRO]
Well this life sure is hard to beat
Shattered street lights abandon cars layin' passed out in the street
And the doctor told me 'wait for us, up on the hill'
And I've been waitin', I'm waitin' still
And I've been waitin'
And I've been waitin'
I've been waitin'
I've been waitin'
I'm waitin' still
I'm waitin' still
Always gonna be waitin'
