AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
I'll listen to you when you feel like talking
I'll listen to you,
I've been waiting far too long a time
I've no idea where it might take us
I've never looked that far
I only hope, one day soon,
You'll turn to me and say;
Still missing you after all these years
Still sitting here thinking it through
I still think you'll call me,
The way I always plan to call you
But I know there's only me here looking now.
I stood and watched the last leaf fall today
Another autumn gone
The memories just wrap themselves around me
And drag me down
A hold so tight
That I lose sight of everything I've got
I know I'll get over this
I won't waste an more time
Still missing you after all these years
Still working my way through
Still wading through all these ghosts
I know I'll face them soon
As I know there's only me here looking still
Still looking for you
I'll listen to you when you feel like talking
I'll listen to you,
I've been waiting far too long a time
I've no idea where it might take us
I've never looked that far
I only hope, one day soon,
You'll turn to me and say;
Still missing you after all these years
Still sitting here thinking it through
I still think you'll call me,
The way I always plan to call you
But I know there's only me here looking now.
I stood and watched the last leaf fall today
Another autumn gone
The memories just wrap themselves around me
And drag me down
A hold so tight
That I lose sight of everything I've got
I know I'll get over this
I won't waste an more time
Still missing you after all these years
Still working my way through
Still wading through all these ghosts
I know I'll face them soon
As I know there's only me here looking still
Still looking for you
