Waiting For You

Demo (Short) | Demo (Long) | Second Version

[Two different versions. The "Demo" (either long or short) has more fleshed out lyrics and melody line, but the music of the other version seems more definitive and refined. I really don't know which one I like better! There isn't too much difference between either of the "Demos" but you can tell that the vocals are different, and there is that spoken bit in the middle.]

Demo (Short)

Ever since my memory *cared* not long ago
I've waited here so patiently
For you to telephone
Now it's true, I wait for you
To lead me out of here
Til that time I sit and hide
Shaking in my den of fear

Waiting for you to rescue me
Be everything that I want you to be
You'll soothe the savage in my soul
You'll calm the fire when it's out of control
Can't tell the right things from the wrong
I try to find out but it takes too long

I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me

I read the news, I watch the tube
Watch it all night long
I try and tell the difference from
The right things and the wrong
Sometimes when I stare real hard
I think I see your face
It seems so real that I could swear
Jumps right out of the TV set

You'll climb the mountains
You'll sail the sea
All of these things you would do for me
You'll pad my wallet
You'll scratch my back
You'll defend me from every attack
You'll put the Commies in their place
You'll rid disease from the whole human race
But when I wake up you're not there
I haven't found you yet and it's not fair

I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you

Demo (Long)

I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me

I read the news, I watch the tube
I watch it all night long
I try to tell the difference from
The right things and the wrong
Sometimes when I stare real hard
I think I see your face
It seems so real that I could swear
You jump right out of the TV set

Waiting for you, I'm waiting for you

When I was a child, messed around
In the dark, it seemed like a mound
I figured that someday, things would change
Now I'm grown up, it's still the same!

I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you

Second Version

Hold you in my arms again
Nothing here ever changes
Hold you in my arms again

Hold you in my arms again
Nothing here ever changes
Hold you in my arms again
Nothing here every changes

Waiting for you to rescue me
Be everything I want you to be
I get so strained when you're away
I *grit my teeth??*, know what they say?
Can't tell the right things from the wrong
I try to find out but it takes too long

Waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you to come to me

Hold you in my arms again
Nothing here every changes
Hold you in my arms again
Nothing here every changes

You'll climb the mountains, you'll sail the sea
All of these things you would do for me
You'll pad my wallet, you scratch my back
You'll defend me from every attack
You'll keep the Commies in their place
You'll rid disease from the whole human race
But when I wake up you're not there
I haven't found you yet and it's not fair

I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
