One to Wait

The fog of you still hangs over my head
But the rain has stopped it's fall and puddles on the ground instead
Those years have passed since you and I parted
I find my mind returning to the love I thought was dead

I took a midnight walk down this city street
A cherry rose with no thorns growing far from my eyes
'Buddy, can you spare me a dollar?'
Well, brother will it change you life?

It's been a long time now
It was a long way down from you
It could be years and years before I kill this blues
Either way, I'm all used up

I have run it through and through my brain
I've examined it from every angle I can ascertain
When you climbed from my car to catch that aeroplane
You knew you'd never see me again

Maybe you believed I'd come running
Running blindly like the water in the gutters on the street
But you know me better than than don't you, honey
I'm more the one to wait

This has to be the last one
I won't pen another verse, my love, or make another plea
I don't know if my forgiveness is a necessary thing
Just in case, I'll forgive you if you'll forgive me

It's been a long time now
It was a long way down from you
It could be years and years before I kill this blues
