Waiting Lyrics
Norah Jones
Hush now, watch the stars fall
Into a fire wall
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
And I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
Now all the stars have gone
Faded into cracks of dawn
And I'm still waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
Into a fire wall
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
And I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
Now all the stars have gone
Faded into cracks of dawn
And I'm still waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
