You Will Be Waiting

As we walk together through the autumn, nearing winter

Through the dying leaves and trees we call our home and native land

You say you don't believe a thing I say, I say you don't believe a thing

You say you can't believe how I don't understand

But I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Waiting there for me

You say you cannot live with me, you need your own identity

And now we air our laundry on national TV

And so you hate my arrogance, my smothering, and sitting on the fence

But I'm afraid of the hard permanence of letting you go free

But I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Waiting there for me

I'm so sick of fighting and that effigy you're lighting

Looks an awful lot like someone whose name I just can't quite place

And though you say it's not supposed to be me or an entity

Still through the flames and smoke I see, I recognize that face

But I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Oh I know, you will be waiting

Waiting there for me

You were someone who would always tell me

Things I don't know, tell me where to go, there I'll always go

Always go there whether or not you're waiting

Well, I don't care if you'll be waiting

But, please say that you will be waiting there for me

Don't you ever leave me, don't leave
