Lyrics
Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labor on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter
If there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden
The wine
The Waiting for Godot
And so much modern time?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for
A red letter day
The years perfecting a stance
Of measured cool fade
Into insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on earth does it profit a man?
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for
A red letter day
For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying
I love you
Baby, I'm waiting
For that red letter day
You can sneer or disappear
Behind a veneer of self-control
But for all of those
Who don't fit it
Who follow their instincts
And are told they sin
This is a prayer for
A different way
All I want is what you want
I'm always waiting for
A red letter day
Like Christmas morning
When you're a kid
Admit you love me
And you always did
Baby, I'm hoping
For that red letter day today
