| Old man sits at his desk
|
| One year from retirement
|
| And he’s up for review
|
| He’s not quite sure what to do
|
| Each passing year
|
| The workload grows
|
| I’m always wishing
|
| I’m always wishing too late
|
| For things to come my way
|
| It always ends up the same
|
| And I must be missing
|
| I must be missing the point
|
| Your signal fades away
|
| And all I’m left with is noise
|
| So wait up
|
| I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
|
| There’s so much to dream about
|
| There must be more to my life
|
| Poor little tin man
|
| Still swinging his axe
|
| Even though, even though
|
| His joints are clogged with rust
|
| My youth is slipping
|
| My youth is slipping away
|
| Safe in monotony
|
| Day after day
|
| My youth is slipping
|
| My youth is slipping away
|
| Cold wind blows off the lake
|
| And I know for sure that it’s too late
|
| So wait up
|
| I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
|
| There’s so much to dream about
|
| There must be more to my life
|
| Wait up
|
| I’m not sleeping alone again tonight
|
| Between the light and shallow waves
|
| Is where I’m going to die
|
| So won’t you wait up for me?
|
| Won’t you wait up for me?
|
| Won’t you wait up for me?
|
| Oh, wait up for me |
