Wait In Vain Lyrics - Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes

I survive the cold on your promises 

Frozen in a life so temporary 

Trapped in the darkness of an endless night 

Living for the day when you'll be mine 

You promised, the door would open, open again 

You promised, I would hold you once again 

And every time the phone rings, I run just to check 

But it's never been you and I'm starting to suspect 

That I wait in vain 

Oh, I wait in vain 

Oh, I wait in vain

It's just one small step and I'm out of the shadow 

But I can't escape your indifference 

I'm gripped by indecision and paralyzed by pride 

Hesitating till the day you'll be by my side 

You promised, I would feel your soft kiss again 

You promised, I would hear you whisper again 

And every day I'm standing, just standing at your door 

I can't even find the strength to hate you anymore 

Wait in vain 

Oh, I wait in vain 

Don't make me wait in vain, no no 

You promised, the door would open again 

You promised, I would hold you, hold you again 

And in the crowd, I always think I see you up ahead 

When I call out your name, it's someone else instead

Oh, I wait in vain 

Oh, I wait in vain 

Please don't make me wait in vain 

Oh, I wait in vain
