This songs about longing
Cos longing’s all I do
If I could count the hours
I spent longing after you
They say you are just what you love
Well I’m not so sure
I like what I’ve become
But it’s true
I’m falling after you
Until I’m proven wrong
That’s what I’m going to do
Like a russian worry doll
Asleep beneath your pillow
I wonder if she hears
The prayers I whisper there
This song’s about waiting
Cos waiting’s what I’ll do
The necessary patience
To find something good as you
They say you find if you care not to look
Well I’d like to know just who wrote that book
But it’s true
I’m falling after you
Until I’m proven wrong
That’s what I’m going to do
Like a russian worry doll
Asleep beneath your pillow
I wonder if she hears
The prayers I whisper there
