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.
