I can't wait, wait for you to change your mind   It's late; I'm trying to walk the line   Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around   Some on their way up, some on their way down   The air burns and I'm trying to think straight   And I don't know how much longer I can wait      I'm your man; I'm trying 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 keeps me loving you so   I'm breathing hard, standing at the gate   But I don't know how much longer I can wait      Skies are grey, 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   If I ever saw you coming I don't know what I would 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've been rolling through stormy weather   I'm thinking 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   While I'm strolling 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 fate   But I don't know how much longer I can wait.
