Waiting for That Day

Now every day I see you in some other face

they crack a smile, talk a while

try to take your place

my memory serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain

thinking to myself

you're a fool boy

why don't you go down

find somebody

find somebody else

my memory serves me far too well

it's not as though we just broke up

it's not as though it was yesterday

but something I just can't explain

something in me needs this pain

I know I'll never see your face again

c'mon now

I've got to be strong now

now everybody's talking about this

new decade

like you say the magic numbers

then just say goodbye to

the stupid mistakes you made

oh my memory serves me far too well

don't you know that

the years will come and go

some of us will change their lives

some of us still have nothing to show

nothing baby

but memories

and if these wounds

they are self inflicted

I don't really know

how my poor heart could have

protected me

but if I have to carry this pain

if you will not share the blame

I deserve to see your face again

c'mon now

you don't have to be strong now

come back

come back to me darling

I will make it worth your while

come on back to your baby

I miss your kiss

I miss your smile

seems to me the peace I search to find

ain't gonna be mine

until you say you will

don't you keep me waiting for that day

I know

you hear these words that I say

you can't always get what you want
