And wait, wait for you to change your mind It's late, late for you to change your mind It's late, and I'm trying to walk the night Well, it's way past midnight and there's people all around Some on their way up, some on their way down Oh, the air burns, and I'm trying to think straight And I don't know how much longer I can wait I'm trying to recover the sweet love that we knew You understand, my heart can't go on beating without you Your loveliness is a wound in me and I'm bleeding from the blow I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so I breathe in hard Standing at the gate And I don't know, I don't know how much longer I can wait Skies are gray, look if there's anything that'll bring a happy blow Night or day, you told me there ain't nowhere I'll go, I'll just go If I ever saw you coming, I don't know what I might do I'd like to think I could control myself, but I know it isn't true That's how it feels when things disintegrate Yes, and I don't know, I don't know how much longer I can wait I know that I'm yours, I've been rooted to the stony weather I'm thinking of you, all the places we could run together It's mad and funny, the end of time has just begun Ah honey, even after all these years you still don't walk I'm strolling through the lonely graveyard of my mind I left my life with you, somewhere back there along the line And I thought for a while, that I would be as good as dead And I don't know, I don't know how much longer I can wait I don't know how much longer I can wait
