Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I could never pretend that I don't love you

You could never pretend that I'm your man

That's exactly the way that I want it

That's exactly the way that I am

And you call me in the mornin' with your troubles

Takin' it downtown every night

I could never place the stars at night above ya

I got my hands on the ground and you know I'm right

[Verse 2]

You wait so long, you wait so long

You wait so long, you wait so long

[Verse 3]

It's a coffee stained earth every time it happens

Liven up honey, it ain't that bad

Any afterthought rose to recognition

Like every other coffin that I had

And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca

You fall to your knees and you pray to the lord

The you take up hope at the politicians

Nothin' happens in this burnt out town anymore

[Verse 4]

You wait so long, you wait so long

You wait so long, you wait so long

[Verse 5]

And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

You know that I'd help you if I can

But I'm just a raindrop in a river

Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this

With all the bad habits that I've learned

But it's better than your fire-borne fornication

And all the dirty money that you earn

[Verse 6]

And you wait so long, you wait so long

You wait so long, you wait so long

You wait so long, you wait so long

You wait so long, you wait so long
