Wait

She came from the wrong side of town

She crossed the tracks and then she turned around

Alone and restless

Left without a choice

She sought the comfort in a friendly voice

To survive she sold herself away

Every night and almost every day

Alone and restless

Left without a choice

She sought the comfort in a friendly voice

I said wait (2x)

Said give love a chance

The morning when you wake up

The sun will dance

She nearly lost herself along the way

So full of anger in a world of hate

She'd walk the streets at night all alone

No one to turn to

No place called home

Our worlds collided one summer day

I gave her hope and a place to stay

Alone and restless

Left without a choice

She found the comfort in a friendly voice

I said wait (2x)

Said give love a chance

The morning when you wake up

The sun will dance (2x)

I said wait, oh, and I'll return (2x)

I said wait, oh, and I'll return (4x)

She came from the wrong side of town

And through the pain she turned her eyes around

When everyone seemed to put her down

She caught herself before she hit the ground

Now so alive she once was dead

She gathered strength and walked the road ahead

Alone and restless

Left without a choice

She found the comfort in a friendly voice

I said wait (2x)

The morning when you wake up

You'll find your romance

I said wait (2x)

The morning when you wake up

The sun will dance
