I can't wait Wait for you to change my mind It's late I'm tryin to walk the line Well it's way past midnight And there's some people all around Some on their way up Some on their way down The air burns and I'm tryin to think straight And I don't know how much longer I can wait I'm your man I've tried to recover the sweet love that we knew You understand That my heart can't go on beating without you Well your loveliness has wounded me I'm reeling from the blow I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so I'm breathin' hard standin' at the gate And I don't know how much longer I can wait Skies are gray I'm looking for anything that will bring a happy glow Night or day It doesn't matter where I go anymore I just go 1) If I ever saw you comin' I don't know what I might do I'd like to think I could control myself But it isn't true That's how it is When things disintegrate And I don't know how much longer I can wait I'm doomed to love you I been rollin' through stormy weather I'm thinkin' of you And all the places we could roam together It's mighty funny The end of time has just begun Oh honey after all these years you're still the one Well I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind I left my life with you Somewhere back there along the line I thought somehow that I would be spared this day I don't know how much longer I can wait
