Slipping away 'til it's dim in the dark

the flame that was strong has become just a spark

but i'll wait for you

Now when we talk your eyes look away

the thing that we had has wandered astray

I'll wait for you



Further and further we're drifting apart

we knew this would happen right from start

but i'll wait for you

caught up in troubles that don't mean a thing

you're ready to fly for a prayer on a wing

but i'll wait for you



Say you were never in love with me

but i'll still wait for you



Oh it's just the way it's meant to be

you tell me no but in won't be long before you see

you're walking back to me



The road you are following it's a dead end

and who will be there when you need a real friend

I will wait

how are we gonna get back to the start

they're too close to home these matters of heart



Say you were never in love with me

but i'll still wait for you



Oh it's just the way it's meant to be

you tell me no but in won't be long before you see

you're walking back to me

you're walking back to me



Ducking and diving

sneaking and hiding

these worries

and these troubles

don't you know

they'll catch up with you

you're walking back

you're walking back to me



Oh it's just the way it's meant to be

you tell me no but in won't be long before you see

you're walking back to me
