Waiting For You

(from the album "Coney Island" - 2:00 sample)
2005-01-09
Greg Tannen
Midnight skintight
broken girls in the drunken headlights
snaking on the road
fall down Chinatown
lonely feet as they hit the ground
a cigarette glow on the darkened streets of Soho
always late
never been that great
never hear your name on the wind
but it's all in vain
like this winter rain
tries to chill my veins through my skin

Chorus:
Waiting for you
waiting for you
waiting for you
waiting for you
still no sign
I am waiting for you

You are the only woman
that I could ever love
you are the only one
that I been thinking of
you're walking away
but you move just like a river
god I don't believe
but if you could give her to me
pressed against my chest
something close to death
show some tenderness
let me catch my breath
or catch yours
right inside my mouth
you're everything to me
you are North and South baby

Chorus.

Bridge:
She likes that I speak French sometimes
je suis sans vous
howling at the moon like it?s dying
je suis sans vous
je suis sans vous

Midnight skintight
angels lean against the streetlight
waiting for the day
fall down Chinatown
see what hurts when you hit the ground
there ain?t no pity
in a sweet and sickly city
you and me
don't you think I see
it's a fantasy all pretend
but I know you're mine
I can taste you like wine
that's glistening on my skin

Chorus.
