| Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
|
| I’m not gonna roll it, no, I’m not gonna smoke it
|
| Till we’re staring at the stars and the rockets
|
| Twinkling in the silvery night
|
| Two sips of whiskey in the flask
|
| But I’m not gonna drink 'em
|
| I swear I’ll make it last
|
| Till we’re- drinking out of the same glass again
|
| And though the sand may be washed by the sea
|
| And the old will be lost in the new
|
| Well four will not wait for three
|
| For three never waited for two
|
| And though you will not wait for me
|
| I’ll wait for you
|
| Got a Polaroid picture in my wallet
|
| I’m not gonna tear it, no, I’m not gonna spoil it
|
| It’s an unspoken heartbreak
|
| A heartbroken handshake
|
| I take with me where I go
|
| Three words on the tip of my tongue
|
| Not to be spoke nor sung
|
| Or whispered to anyone
|
| Till I scream 'em at the top of my lungs again
|
| And though the sand may be washed by the sea
|
| And the old will be lost in the new
|
| Well four will not wait for three
|
| For three never waited for two
|
| And though you will not wait for me
|
| I’ll wait for you
|
| Oh, whoa
|
| And, oh, oh, oh
|
| I’ll wait for you
|
| Oh, whoa
|
| And, oh, oh, oh
|
| And I’ll wait for you
|
| Oh, oh
|
| Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
|
| I’m not gonna roll it, no, I’m not gonna smoke it
|
| Till we’re staring at the stars and the rockets
|
| Twinkling in the silvery night |
