how long

there's a telephone smile and it's begging me so

to pack all my things and make this long journey home

there's a dark icy road and there's a man on tv

and he's talking so fast about the reasons why i can't leave

there's a bottle of beer on a bus driver's mind

there's a time and a place and he's eager to find

there's a waitress' birthday on the second of june

and it's taking forever for her to turn twenty-two

there's a saying in my mind i've heard it before

they're the kind of words that you start to ignore

it's less of a truth than a question of time

that good things come to those who wait

so how long will i wait?

oh how long will i wait?

oh how long will i wait?

how long will i wait?
