Hoping I don't make somebody cry Hoping not to live too many lies I gave her what I could but she didn't notice what happened to me Hoping I remember what I wanna say Hoping that religion doesn't get in my way I gave her everything but she didn't notice what happened to me She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me She took me to the station where she cried She told me that my instincts were run dry I told her everything was gonna be alright if she comforted me She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me, yeah, yeah, yeah She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time She'll have to wait a long time to comfort me So, I sing this to myself now she's not around I sing it when and wherever I may be bound It makes me feel so good just to hear the sound that comforts me
