We'd walk the Hudson
Watching the sunset
Waving at the trains
Summer went quickly and life in the city just
Hasn't been the same
But you said, "I'm with you"
"And I'll bring back the world we knew."
So I imagine, that it'll happen
Cause I've been waiting for someone to take me away
And I've been counting the hours, I'm barely awake
But you promised you'd be here, I remember you smiled
So I'll keep on waiting for a while
It keeps getting darker
It's colder for longer
My neighbor's acting strange
The streets always crowded, I think I've decided
I need a change
But I said I'd wait for you
And you'd bring back the world we knew
Can you imagine? Will it ever happen?
Cause I've been waiting for someone to take me away
And I've been counting the hours, I'm barely awake
But you promised you'd be here, I remember you smiled
So I'll keep on waiting for a while
I came back to the river, retracing our steps
And there's barely a sliver of the memories you and I left
Looking down at the water, I can see what I already know
Just like the river, I will go
Cause I've been waiting for someone to take me away
All I have is a smile
So I'm done waiting, for a while
