between the blood red sun
and the blue water moon
the leaves are falling early
and the night comes way too soon
there's a chill in the air
like I never felt before
I pull-up my collar
turn to face the wind
go looking for a place
her and I have never been
where I can pretend
that nothing's really wrong
"no damage is done''
that can't be repaired
and love is never lost
as long as someone still cares
it looks good on this paper
but I'm the one standing here
going 'round and 'round and 'round
...in this waiting game
I passed a wedding in the church
should have walked away
but that dream never died
and I had to stop and stare
told myself it didn't matter
but my tears gave me away
I've got to think of something
to get her off my mind
I wish it was that easy
to fill this empty place inside
this repetitious melancholy
cuts down deep to the bone
I play with these words
till it drives me crazy
I'm caught between the ''no's''
I'm trying to rhyme the maybe's
when there's no right or wrong
and nothing left to say
you just go 'round and 'round and 'round
in the waiting game
I built this special little room
where no-one else could go
I put it deep inside my heart
but I can't get in there anymore
she was the only one
that had the key to that door
I try and find the courage
pick-up that telephone
but what's left that I could tell her
it's all been said before
looks like this bed of roses
turned into a blanket of thorns
there are no winners or losers
it ain't as simple as that
and time ain't gonna heal
what you won't let yourself forget
if there's a lesson to be learned
well than I'm gonna act dumb
and just go 'round and 'round and 'round
...in the waiting game
I watch the sun come up
I watch it go back down
the leaves are falling early
the nights are getting long
...there's a chill in the air
...like I never felt before
and the blue water moon
the leaves are falling early
and the night comes way too soon
there's a chill in the air
