I took advantage
Of a straight believing town
That tore the bandage
And said look who's bleeding now
Are you listening or are you faithless like the others

Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll been waiting all day
I've been waiting all year
For you, it's true

He's been beaten
Might have brought it on himself
So he stopped reading
Every book on mental health
But all's not lost in this tangle like no other

Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll been waiting all day
I've been waiting all year
For you, it's true

Take this dose and go
Whisky warm September
The faded sign will show
That he still remembers

Long days are almost here
Faded signs for you
I'll been waiting all day
I've been waiting all year
For you, it's true

Waiting all day
Waiting all year
I'll be waiting all day
I'll be waiting all year
