The Prodigal (I'll Be Waiting)

I Face the Day Again
Against the Window Pane
I Remain Your Closest Friend
And Wish You Back Again
You Wonder How I Feel
You Think You've Pushed Too Far
If Only You Could See This Pen
Scribbling Down My Heart

I'll Be Waiting
I May Be Young Or Old and Gray
Counting the Days
But I'll Be Waiting
And When I Finally See You Come
I'll Run When I See You--
I'll Meet You

But Still the Days Drag On
Why Did You Decide to Go?
Did You Only Need to See
What Only Time Can Show?

I'll Be Waiting
I May Be Young Or Old and Gray
Counting the Days
But I'll Be Waiting
And When I Finally See You Come
I'll Run When I See You

And Even If
You Never Do Return
Still I Will Have Learned
How to Love You Better

I'll Be Waiting
I May Be Young Or Old and Gray
Counting the Days
But I'll Be Waiting
And When I Finally See You Come
I'll Run to Meet You

I'll Be Waiting
I May Be Young Or Old and Gray
Counting the Days
I'll Be Waiting
And When I Finally See You Come
I'll Run to Meet You
