Waiting for The Day – Erasure
(Clarke / Bell)
It was only for a fight
That I asked you to come in
But you brought me tumbling down
When the walls came caving in
Won’t you help me dry my tears?
Help me roll away the years?
And perhaps I will forgive you
And the hurt will disappear
But in a fit of blind arrogance you stood up and walked away
If you’d given me half a chance I’ll be waiting for the day
For the day that you, oh
Come back to me
Come on back to me
You, oh
Come back to me
So forget the long goodbye
You never really tried
Threw the keys down on the table
You’ve got your sense of pride
Then you had to tell the world
Your story must be heard
Slam the door behind you
Without a single word
But in a fit of blind arrogance you stood up and walked away
The day that
You, oh
Come back to me
Come on back to me
You, oh
Come back to me
Come on back to me
You, oh
Come back to me
No I never had a single thought in my head
No I never had a single thought
Oh for the day that
You, oh
Come back to me
Come on back to me
You, oh
Come back to me
Come on back to me
You could be my lifelong friend
You could be the light of dawn
You could keep me close at hand
You could keep me safe and warm
I will be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give you all
Waiting for the night to fall
You could be the light of day
You could be my lifelong friend
You could keep me close at hand
Waiting for the day to end
I could be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give my all
Waiting for the night to fall
