I'll Be Waiting Lyrics

I sat on the doorstep
And watched her slowly walk away.
She wasn't sad, she wasn't angry
Does she ever hear a word I say?
I was only a dumb kid
Playing parts I'd studied for a day.
But I'm no actor
Could never say a line to save my life.
So what's the matter with indifference?
It's just an easy way to kill the pain.
You can't be crying when you're travelling,
Even when you know you've missed the train.
So take your time, don't you worry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
So take your time, don't you hurry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.

Don't want to be a ploughboy
Seen my father break his back that way.
I'm not a dreamer, I'm a builder
At least that's what the voices say.
I can't let love spoil my chances
Can't let a girl stand in my way.
So it's the best thing to tell her
I'm just leaving for a day.
I'll be waiting...
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
So take your time, don't you worry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
So take your time, don't you hurry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
So what's so wrong about deception?
Maybe I could change my mind and stay.
You can't be crying, while your travelling
It won't be me that's crying anyway.
So take your time, don't you worry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
So take your time, don't you hurry,
I'll be waiting, you know I'll be waiting.
