I can t wait 
                          
Wait for you to change my mind 
 
It s late 
                      
I m tryin to walk the line 
 
Well it s way past midnight 
 
And there s some people all around 
 
Some on their way up 
 
Some on their way down 
                                
The air burns and I m tryin to think straight 
                                     
And I don t know how much longer I can wait 
 
I m your man 
I ve tried to recover the sweet love that we knew 
You understand 
That my heart can t go on beating without you 
Well your loveliness has wounded me 
I m reeling from the blow 
I wish I knew what it was that keeps me loving you so 
I m breathin  hard standin  at the gate 
And I don t know how much longer I can wait 
 
Skies are gray 
I m looking for anything that will bring a happy glow 
Night or day 
It doesn t matter where I go anymore I just go 1) 
If I ever saw you comin  I don t know what I might do 
I d like to think I could control myself 
But it isn t true 
That s how it is 
When things disintegrate 
And I don t know how much longer I can wait 
 
               
I m doomed to love you 
                               
I been rollin  through stormy weather 
              
I m thinkin  of you 
                                  
And all the places we could roam together 
 
             
It s mighty funny 
The end of time has just begun 
Oh honey, after all these years you re still the one 
Well I m strollin  through the lonely graveyard of my mind 
I left my life with you 
Somewhere back there along the line 
I thought somehow that I would be spared this day 
I don t know how much longer I can wait
