Wait So Long Lyrics

I could never pretend that I don't love you
you could never pretend that I'm your man
thats exactly the way that I want it
thats exactly the way that I am
and you'll call me in the mornin with your troubles
takin it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above ya
got my hands on the ground and you know I'm right
you wait so long

its a coffee stain on earth every time it happens
laugh it up honey it ain't that bad
and the after thought rose to recognition
like eery other coffin that I had
then your feelin broke down in winamuck
you fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
then you take a poke at the politicians
nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore
you wait so long

and your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
you know that I'll help you if i can
but I'm just a raindrop in a riVer
just an little itty bitty grain of sand
and you know that I'm doom to repeat this
with all the bad habits that I learned
but its better than your fiber fornication
and all the dirty money that you earned
you wait so long
