I ll be waiting
I sat on the doorstep
and watched her slowly walk away
She wasn t sad, she wasn t angry
Does she ever hear a word I say ?
I was only a dumb kid
playing parts I d studied for a day
but I m no actor
could never say a line to save my life
So what s the matter with indifference ?
It s just an easy way to kill the pain
You can t be crying when you re travelling
even when you know you ve missed the train
So take your time, don t you worry
I ll be waiting, you know I ll be waiting
Don t want to be a ploughboy
seen my father break his back that way
I m not a dreamer, I m a builder
at least that s what the voices say
I can t let love spoil my chances
can t let a girl stand in my way
So it s the best thing to tell
her I m just leaving for a day
and what s so wrong about deception
maybe I could change my mind and stay
You can t be crying, while your travelling
it won t be me that s crying anyway.
