lyrics

I’ve been waiting on the spring for a year now it seems and when it comes, well I aint gonna stay. So If I’m not around to feel the sun kiss this town, well I’ll still dream of it from somewhere far away. And the flowers in bloom and how I’ve filled my room with all the words I just could not say. How I wished she was mine when we were walking that time along el río calle-calle. So what can I say? Oh what can I say? I’ve been betting it all on the hope of someday and in the
hope
hope
hope things turn my way.
It feels so long ago, back in San Diego when she said “it feels just like you’re running away” I knew that she was right but I still left in the night and by morning was waiting on a plane. Now she’s long gone, so when I get back home there’s no parades, no welcome back parties; just an empty bed and some books I never read. That’s all I’ve got waiting on meBut what can I do? Oh what can I do? Everywhere I go it’s always the same old tune. I’m always
wait
wait
waiting on the blues.
Pitched open like a tent, and buckling in the wind , my heart’s not much shelter from the storm but if you climb right inside, and stay through the night, well you might find yourself a little warmth. Until I pack it all in and start walking on again and when the sun comes up, we’ll be all alone. So maybe one day, I’ll find myself a place and I’ll settle down and build myself a home. And what I wouldn’t give, oh what I wouldn’t give just to open those doors and say to you then
love
love
love come in.
