|
there's a telephone smile and it's begging me so |
|
to pack all my things and make this long journey home |
|
there's a dark icy road and there's a man on tv |
|
and he's talking so fast about the reasons why I can't leave |
|
|
|
there's a bottle of beer on a bus driver's mind |
|
there's a time and a place and he's eager to find |
|
there's a waitress' birthday on the second of June |
|
and it's taking forever for her to turn twenty-two |
|
|
|
there's a saying in my mind I've heard it before |
|
they're the kind of words that you start to ignore |
|
it's less of a truth than a question of time |
|
that good things come to those who wait |
|
|
|
so how long will I wait? |
