It’s a long road across the world and back Once she gets home there’ll be something in her eyes That wasn’t there before But I know I’ll love this right away I’ll be sure And I will wait Does she remember the mornings? Does she remember that sound? Now she’s on the other side of gravity And I’m just hangin’ round And it’s not easy you know My dear oh She gets to go off and go While I gotta stay here But I will wait I’ll stay back and I’ll just wait And I am running on the Christopher Ocean I am measuring the length of her devotion I can wait I’ll stay here and I’ll just wait And I could press my ear against a sea shell I could hear her through the smoky space But the day I search on the shore Will be the day she hops on that plane and flies away But I will wait I’ll just stay here and I’ll just wait And I am running on the Christopher Ocean I am measuring the length of her devotion I can wait I’ll just stay here and I’ll just wait Ba da da dee ba da dee ba da dee da da dee Ba da dee da dee de dee dee da da da la da da Can’t you just wait Can’t you just stay here Can’t you just wait with me just Just for a little while Da la la da la la da la la da da dum da da dum da da dum da ba doo ba da doo
