While I Wait for You

Freedy Johnston

You left your watch
It's already stopped
Your favorite shoes
Where you dropped them

And the rain won't stay
And the sun won't move
And I hold my hands
While I wait for you

Won't be long
A note by the phone
Two weeks now
And you're still gone

And your garden's dying
And the flowers won't bloom
And I sit by the window
While I wait for you

When I wake up I forget
Put my arm across the bed
Where it left, the wait begins again
I imagine, I recall
To the family and the walls
And I still believe no one knows

How a night needs day
Like a lie needs true
And the rain won't stay
And the sun won't move
And I hold my hands
While I wait for you
