Too cold to call it summer anymore They took down all the yellow lights at Market Street and 4th I left the plastic furniture you put out in the shade under the porch It's been raining every day now for a week Flooded in the basement and I can't find the leak You were always better fixing things around the house than you and me I will wait for you In neon streets alone I will wait for you And carry it like a stone I will wait for you Till you're ready to come home Then halfway through the fall I broke your cup The one you used for coffee you could never get enough I went out and bought another and put it right back in its place beside the clock
And in December all the questions finally stopped My friends came by while I was out and put your pictures in a box But almost every night I hear the turning of your key inside the lock I will wait for you In neon streets alone I will wait for you And carry it like a stone I will wait for you Till you're ready to come home It could be I am crazy I don't care When the light comes streaming through that door I need to be there Maybe love is just a reason to believe in something I will wait for you In neon streets alone I will wait for you And carry it like a stone I will wait for you Till you're ready to come home
