[Pre-Chorus]
It's like a wire, this crucial touch
That holds me here, expects so much
No disregard will tie me down
I will be waiting, waiting for us
[Verse]
At 50 or 60 she'll leave me completely
And one of us will coolly hold the other's hand
No metaphor for this that I can understand
Show me some love
[Pre-Chorus]
For a wire, this crucial touch
That holds me here, expects so much
No disregard, no girlish charm
I will be waiting, waiting for us
[Chorus]
I will be waiting in the shadows of the dead of night (x8)
[Verse]
She'd hold me, and swayed me
"Remember me daily"
And all that will remain of us is photographs
No metaphor for this that I can understand
Show me
[Pre-Chorus]
This love's a wire, this crucial touch
That holds me near, expects so much
No disregard will tie me down
I will be waiting, waiting for us
[Chorus]
I will be waiting in the shadows of the dead of night (x8)
[Outro]
It's like a wire
That holds me here
No disregard will tie me down
I will be waiting, waiting for us
