Don't Wait Up Songtext
von Diane Birch

I said to the river running through my heart
"You got a long way to go until the water′s hot
'Cause the clouds roll in and all the people hide"
Saying, "Run, run, baby, to the sunny side"
I said to the preacher standing at my door
"Why you chasing a rainbow when you got a star?"
He said, "You gonna be sorry if you open that lid"
I said, "It′s too late, daddy, I already did"

Oh, oh, oh, don't wait up for me
Oh, oh, 'cause you ain′t gonna like what you see, no, no, no
Don′t wait up
Don't wait up

I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve
I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell
I said the midnight hour′s gonna take me home
And today's sorrow will be no more


I said, oh, oh, oh, don′t wait up for me
Oh, oh, 'cause you ain′t gonna like what you see, no, no, no
Oh, no, no
Don't wait up
Whoa, oh, don't wait up for me
Oh, oh, ′cause you ain′t gonna like what you see, no, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait up for me
Oh, oh, ′cause you ain't gonna like what you see, no, no, no
Oh, oh, oh, don′t wait up for me
Oh, oh, 'cause you ain′t gonna like what you see, no, no, no

Don't wait up
Oh, no
Don't wait up
Don′t wait up
Oh, yeah
Don′t wait up
No
