Waiting for You |
| Say what you will, I will miss you my friends |
| Let me move along for the road never ends |
| Vowing to live till the end of all time |
| All the way to the ends of the earth because I’m |
| Waiting for you to say you will be mine |
| Many long days, many long years |
| Many wrong plays, many wrong fears |
| I could be tossed in the arms of the sea |
| I could be caught between decks eternally |
| Waiting for you to ask what’s keeping me |
| What would we do at the end of the day |
| When the hours are asleep and the time slips away |
| Children are all that the earth has to show |
| Children are all that the earth wants to know |
| Up here in the northland, up here in the snow |
| Up in the wilderness, land of our birth |
| Land of our toil, land of our worth |
| I could stay healthy and wealthy and wise |
| For I love the snow other snowbirds criticize |
| Tell that to a wife and you’ll get a surprise |
| The skies of North America are covered in stars |
| Over factories and farms, over hamlets and bars |
| The breeze of North America is breathless at night |
| Out there in the distance some souls are in flight |
| Some soft-hearted lovers whose goals are in sight |
| Here in my on-again, off-again style |
| Here in my on-again, off-again smile |
| Here in my off-again, on-again grin |
| Here in my off-again, on-again skin |
| Waiting for you to say let us begin |
