To work like the devil for your pay   Was the old song that he used to sing   Before the waking hours   Rolled out across the open ground      Now I see him through the window   At a table drinking his coffee   And talking about the days   Before the time that we knew    Would not return to this old town      He's waiting for somebody else to save his day   Or at least to see some light before it fades away   Yeah, yeah      To choose no companion   It fell right in line   With all the others she had known   Had laid by his side   Before the sleepless morning   Showed its face without a sound   Without a sound      Now where did the time go all these years   After the pictures had been burned   And the names have all been cleared   From all that she remembers it adds up in time   To not a thing, no not a thing      She's waiting for somebody else to save her day   Or at least to see his face before he goes away   Before he goes away   Before he goes away   Before he goes away   She just wants to see his face before he goes away   Before he goes away   Before he goes away   Oh, before he goes away   Before he goes away   Before he goes away
