So you want to go explore the world   And leave me here to wait   waiting on your words of hope   waiting on your signs you leave   but days are gone   and months long past   the years how they slipped by      I'm waiting here by the phone for anything   Anything at all to know if I'm the one   the silence is deafening   and my mind is shot   but I'll wait for the phone to ring   to here you say the words   words to free me from your prison
