The waiting is the hardest part.

WAITIN’ FOR YOU, MAMA
You got a smile like the east
At the break of dawn.
You can soothe the savage beast
When you break into song.
You know how to cheer me up –
Kiss me when I’m down.
That’s why it’s always so rough
When you’re not around.
Well, I’ve been waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you all night long.
And I’ll keep waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you way past dawn.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you, Mama?
It always hurts so much
When you’re outta town.
Just one day without your touch
And I’d probably drown.
All these tears of loneliness
Are rolling down my cheeks
Just like all these sad minutes
Are rolling by like weeks.
Well, I’ve been waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you all night long.
And I’ll keep waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you way past dawn.
Where are you?
Where are you?
You’re too far away to see.
Come back home.
Come back home.
Come back home to me.
Well, I’ve been waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you all night long.
And I’ll keep waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you, Mama,
Waitin’ for you way past dawn.
Where are you, Mama?
I’ve been sittin’ here waitin’
Since way past dawn.
