While I Wait For You

You left your watch

It's already stopped

Your favorite shoes

Where you dropped them



And the rain won't stay

And the sun won't move

And I hold my hands

While I wait for you



Won't be long

A note by the phone

Two weeks now

And you're still gone



And your garden's dying

And the flowers won't bloom

And I sit by the window

While I wait for you



When I wake up I forget

Put my arm across the bed

Where it left, the wait begins again

I imagine, I recall

To the family and the walls

And I still believe no one knows



How a night needs day

Like a lie needs true

And the rain won't stay

And the sun won't move

And I hold my hands

While I wait for you
