Waiting For You

by A. Gerber & R. Hutchinson I am a shadow My future's behind me. On a cold city street You could find me. Look in my eyes Recognize your fear Guilt and shame scream loud and clear It's not far from where your standing to over here. And I'm waiting, waiting for you Yes I'm waiting, waiting for you I'm not asking for much One more quarter will buy me a beer, but a dime will do. I was a professor with tenure at N.Y.U. Had a house, a car, I was a family man. I filled them with questions, and I gave them their score 'Till the day I could do it no more Just what was I preparing them for Ooh, I walked out the door . Now I'm waiting, waiting for you Yes I'm waiting, waiting for you I'm not asking for much One more quarter will buy me a beer, but a dime will do . When I was a child In my make-believe world I could play forever like any boy or girl. I grew up, fell in line Then I grew numb and tired of trying . Now I'm waiting, waiting for you Oh I'm waiting, waiting for you I'm not asking for much One more quarter will buy me a beer, but a dime will do . Yes I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you Yes I'm waiting, waiting , waiting for you I'm not asking for much One more quarter will buy me a beer, but a dime will do . I'm waiting for you
