Winter's long, there's nowhere to go and so
Try to prepare for the worst
The screaming faucet shifts
A cardboard box now sits
Filled with the window that I broke
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting for me?
These jackets I pulled from that mothball chest
The muffled city sounds that reach my room
Searching through old tapes trying to remember that tune
I guess I've got some old gear that I could sell
Tape deck I bought when I was sixteen
Complains, sputters and warbles
Throw me in the ravine
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
I said it's my favourite time of the year
When they retire the street benches
So was there any mail for me?
Can I stay for a while?
These jackets I pulled from that mothball chest
The muffled city sounds that reach my room
Searching through old tapes trying to remember that tune
I guess I've got some old gear that I could sell
Tape deck I bought when I was sixteen
Complains, sputters and warbles
Throw me in the ravine
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting?
Are you waiting for me?
