Listen to the emptiness Of the raindrops on the ground Beating out a rhythm To a tune that can't be found
Listen to my heart A-pounding, longing for the time When the melody of you returns And once again, you're mine
But I'm waiting for a song that never comes (Waiting for a song to come) Lost without a melody That I can never hear Since you're gone
Look how sad the carousel That turns with no one on And all the dappled ponies Long for children who are gone
Look into my mind It spins, and then it goes nowhere When first I think you're coming Then I find that you're not there
But I'm waiting for a song that never comes (Waiting for a song to come) Lost without a melody That I can never hear Since you're gone
I'm waiting for a summer day In the middle of the fall Hoping that you're coming back When I know you're never coming back at all
I'm waiting for a song that never comes (Waiting for a song to come) Yes, I'm waiting for a song that never comes (Waiting for a song to come) Well, I'm waiting for a song that never comes (Waiting for a song to come)
