Maddy doesn't want your love And she doesn't want mine Her man's been missing a long time He's just like a silk rose in her mind The years go by and yet he never gets any older Like a bandit, he steals his time Like a child, she thinks she'll be safe on his shoulders All that once was is no longer But she tries to stall the night And keep on dreaming till he arrives Only in her dreams does he arrive Only in her dreams does he really love her How long will you wait for your man? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait for your man? Is it a question of keeping things the way you planned them? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait for your man? Hands cupped in the rain Waiting for all you need to be given Maddy, I know you're afraid Of wasting time But you don't need to make your life a prison All that once was is no longer But she tries to stall the night And keep on dreaming till he arrives Only in dreams does he arrive Only in her dreams does he really love her How long will you wait for your man? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait for your man? Is it a question of keeping things the way you planned them? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait for your man? How long will you wait for your man? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait for your man? Is it a question of keeping things the way you planned? Oh, Maddy how long will you wait?
