lyrics

I waited so long for you,
To sing my favorite song.
Something soft but sweet like me.
Like something from a memory.

I really, really, really
Kinda really need for you to see
That I'm a sailor on a sail boat
Sailing on an inland sea.

I waited so long to find
Believe the term for this is piece of mind.
Now a calm on us descends. Find yourself forgetting
When it starts and when it ends.

Fellas I'm a solo acapella
Singing slightly out of key.
Blame it on my age but i'm
Grateful for the stuff that comes between.

I waited oh so long,
I waited oh so long,
I've waited longer than
Anyone's ever done
Save for that Top 40 band
Playing in Des Moines.

I waited so long you see
Now I know you like my ABCs
That's the thing about getting close
Like slipping into favorite clothes.

I waited oh so long,
I waited oh so long,
I waited longer than
Anyone's ever done
Save for the guy pushing
Jesus tracts in Dubuque.
