The time has come, you're really leavin'

You always told me that you needed to

I guess I never thought it would happen

I guess I never really wanted it to

Hoped this day would never come

The world is callin' you and you must answer

But you can take me with you in your dreams

as you'll always be in mine

If you ever get back to me

In a shiny new car or worn out shoes

I'll be waiting for you

Your sister told me you're doing fine now

Working at some office in the city

But don't forget about those who love you

We'll be there for you if you get down

I believe in you and all you’re after

I hope you end up where you wanna be

If you ever get back to me

In a shiny new car or worn out shoes

I'll be waiting for you

These days the time seem to pass slower

the nights seem to linger on forever

all I do is remember

I often wonder if you found your freedom

I wonder if I should’ve gone with you

If you ever get back to me

In a shiny new car or worn out shoes

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you
