I could see you on the corner on a Saturday night
Your grey eyes glow in the diner lights
Your cold, young face how it lingers
If you would only say one thing to me
I’d tell you about this town in the way I see
We’ve got a tank of gas and the rest of our lives, dear
I would wait for you, I would wait for you
As long as I have to
My heart is tearing at the seems
I only see you in my dreams
When I wake, I feel empty
The space in my bed where you would sleep
When a state line you would leap
Now it seems 400 miles long
And I would wait for you, I would wait for you, I would wait for you
As long as I have to
Babe you are, so far away from me
In the heat of the day we’ll never meet
But the cool of the nights are bittersweet
The taste of your lips, how it lingers
If I could only ask one thing of you
Baby please, let’s see it through
Please tell me it’s not a one time thing, girl
I would wait for you, I would wait for you, I would wait for you
As long as I have to, as long as I have to, as long as I have to
Babe you are so far away from me
