evening settles in the room. shadows vanish with the afternoon. maybe you, if ever you come will rescue me from my daily evening doldrums. i guess that's why i wait for you that's why i wait for you that's why i wait for you i wait for you god knows my job will beat me down and you're not complaining still i'm never around seemed like melodrama when this began but melodrama gets real when you're living it, man i guess that's why i wait for you that's why i wait for you that's why i wait for you i wait for you maybe the sun will shine. i'll wake up and find you calling. maybe my life's just fine you lift me up when i'm falling so i want to wait for you that's why i wait for you that's why i wait for you wait for you wait for you wait for you that's why i... that's why i wait.
