Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So I'll wait for you
Where I always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you one day that once
Spent out on me
And up till late
I searched for you, your hat pushed straight
Away from me
Your measured step
Heads up you win, always 2 late
[Verse 2]
Oh, if I could just once catch your eye
Invisible against the words
That hold you down in solitude
And never let you go the way that
Every time our eyes just close
Like lids of wooden little files
I put you under rainy day
Your hat's all off and I'm gone away
[Verse 3]
So I'll wait for you, where I'll always wait
Behind the signs, that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you one day that once
Spent out on me
And up till late
I searched for you, your hat pushed straight
Away from me
Your measured step
Heads up you win, always 2 late
