I'll Be Waiting Songtext
von Horslips

Sat on the doorstep
And watched her slowly walk away
She wasn′t sad, she wasn't angry
Did she ever hear a word I′d say?
I was only a dumb kid
Playing part-time steady for a day
I'm not an actor, could never say a line
To save my life

What's the matter with indifference?
It′s just an easy way to kill the pain
You can′t be crying when you're traveling
Even when you know you′ve missed your train

So take your time, don't you hurry
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 plowboy
Seen my father break his back that way
I′m not a dreamer, I'm a do-er
At least that′s what the old boys, they say

Can't let looks spoil my chances
Can′t let that 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 hurry
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

What′s so wrong about deception?
Maybe I can change my mind and stay
You can't be crying when you're traveling
It won′t be me that′s crying anyway


So take your time, don't you hurry
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 take your time, don't you hurry
I'll be waiting, you know I′ll be waiting
