(J. Lyon/B. Rush)
|
|
I survive the cold on your promises
|
Frozen in a life so temporary
|
Trapped in the darkness of an endless night
|
Living for the day when you'll be mine
|
You promised
|
The door would open, open again
|
You promised
|
I would hold you once again
|
And every time the phone rings I run just to check
|
But it's never been you and I'm starting to suspect
|
|
That I wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
|
It's just one small step and I'm out of the shadow
|
But I can't escape your indifference
|
I'm gripped by indecision and paralyzed by pride
|
Hesitating till the day you'll be by my side
|
You promised
|
I would feel your soft kiss again
|
You promised
|
I would hear you whisper again
|
And every day I'm standing, just standing at your door
|
I can't even find the strength to hate you anymore
|
|
Wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
Don't make me wait in vain
|
No no
|
|
You promised the door would open again
|
You promised I would hold you, hold you again
|
And in the crowd I always think I see you up ahead
|
When I call out your name it's someone else instead
|
|
Wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
|
Please don't make me wait in vain
|
Oh I wait in vain
|
Wait in vain
