Lyrics:

I anxiously wait for the turn of your palm
Two ticking hands to wave you along
Hoped you'd found solace here from your disarray
But you were never one to stay baby
Well I've tallied time my valiant responder
I've had trouble treading in these shallow waters
I dreamed your devotion but to my dismay
You were never one to say baby
And you were never one to stay baby
High hopes look at what's been done to me
Ill with impatience and doubt that runs deep as a narrowing ravine
High hopes I'm building you up
What else is a lonely mind to do
I painted a picture the night that we met
Of who you would be but I didn't know yet
You couldn't be built and you couldn't be changed
And you were never one to sway baby
You were never one to say baby
And you were never one to stay baby
