Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes - Wait in Vain lyrics

I survive the cold on your promises Frozen in a life so temporary Trapped in the darkness of an endless night Living for the day when you'll be mine You promised The door would open, open again You promised I would hold you once again And every time the phone rings I run just to check But it's never been you and I'm starting to suspect That I wait in vain Oh I wait in vain Oh I wait in vain It's just one small step and I'm out of the shadow But I can't escape your indifference I'm gripped by indecision and paralyzed by pride Hesitating till the day you'll be by my side You promised I would feel your soft kiss again You promised I would hear you whisper again And every day I'm standing, just standing at your door I can't even find the strength to hate you anymore Wait in vain Oh I wait in vain Don't make me wait in vain No no You promised the door would open again You promised I would hold you, hold you again And in the crowd I always think I see you up ahead When I call out your name it's someone else instead Wait in vain Oh I wait in vain Oh I wait in vain Please don't make me wait in vain Oh I wait in vain Wait in vain
