Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've held your hand since nineteen seventy nine
You were in a band, still am, yeah
But back then you had hair and your smile was so sublime
And I chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked
[Verse 2]
You used to buy me scotch, still do, yeah, but now too much is never enough
To take me back to that dance hall where you got thrown out
'Cause they thought you were drunk, I wasn't
You couldn't lie then and you sure as hell can't lie to me now
[Verse 3]
You stole the best years of my life
I'll give them back
[Verse 4]
You got fat
And you're the thigh high hemline I just can't stop staring at
[Verse 5]
'Cause I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
[Verse 6]
And I will wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went
[Verse 7]
The flat we rented was a palace for my queen
If by palace you mean that asbestos and beans from a tin
And the gin that we brewed in the bathtub
She sang "do you think I'm sexy?" And oh god, I really did
[Verse 8]
You'd swoon, you'd sigh, working shifts till we cried
Oh, if one more guy calls me darling then I
Swear to you, and to god, I will murder them all
All the bastards applaud, when I show that I'm flawed
You're not flawed darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed
[Verse 9]
And I'd get in
And for some reason you've painted the kitchen lime green
[Verse 10]
And I'd sink to the floor, what's the point anymore?
And you, you'd reply with a glint in your eye
(And you, you'd reply with a drink in your hand)
Saying "I don't know, but I'm here, I'm all yours, dear heart don't cry"
(Saying "I don't know, but I'm here, oh dear god, dear heart don't cry")
[Verse 11]
'Cause I will wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
[Verse 12]
And I will wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went
[Verse 13]
I've loved you, for a hundred years
Certainly fucking feels like it
[Verse 14]
The minute I met you, the colours of my life begun to pour
I'm scared of the dark
[Verse 15]
And now, even though you're mad, and these memories won't stay, that's okay
'Cause now I get to meet you for the first time every single day
I'll wait and hope
Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep
But a place for crows to rest their feet
[Verse 16]
And I'll wait and hope
And rest my head at night content
Knowing where my marbles went
[Verse 17]
And I will wait
And I will wait
And I will wait
And hope
And I will wait
And I will wait
And I will wait
And hope
