I'll Be Waiting
A girl stole my heart one day,
She grabbed it up and ran.
She laughed and looking back at me
Said catch me if you can.
I gave her quite a lead,
It's hard to breathe without a heart.
And once I started running
I knew it wasn't smart.
Every time that I'd get near
She'd dash and dart away.
To her it seemed to be a game,
But I didn't want to play.
Finally I did catch her,
And for a couple days was fine.
But when I wasn't looking
I tripped over her line.
So now she's off running once again,
With my heart firmly in tow.
And I can't breathe and I can't think,
I've taken quite a blow.
So I think I'll just sit right here,
And see if she comes back.
And if she runs forever,
Then a heart I'll always lack.
For now I'll fill the hole she left
With whiskeys and with rums.
And I'll wait here forever,
Even if she never comes.
