The Northern Pikes — Wait For Me lyrics

Lyrics

Sweet September rain
Coming down hard on the roof of the car
Familiar terrain
I’m in a daydream, and the thoughts keep on coming
Nineteen-eighty-two
Was the year I fell head over heels with you
I was only twenty-one
What can I do now and what have I done?
You’ve thrown it all away
Six years go by, and they seem like a day
You can dig for silver with a shovel of gold
You can search for a lover and a hand to hold
You can wait forever, or so I’ve been told
But I will wait for you
I will be waiting
But I will wait for you
Will you wait for me?
Cold October wind
Is chilling my bones out and slicing my skin
I’m in this one-horse town
Floating in a fish bowl upside-down
But I still have my faith
And I know my true love will come back to this place
«Tonight, tonight,» she said
«I'm looking for a real romance
Somebody to dance with me.»
«Tonight, tonight,» she said
«I'm waiting for my prince to come
He will be my only one.»
Wet December snow
And I can’t help remembering someone I know
But that was a long time ago
If you had three wishes, what would they be?
Would you change yourself
Or would you try to change me?
Do wishes come true — well, I’ll just wait and see
But I will wait for you
I will be waiting
But I will wait for you
Will you wait for me?
