Old man sits at his desk

One year from retirement,

And he's up for review

Not quite sure what to do

Each passing year

The workload grows

[G6/9]

I'm always wishing, I'm always wishing too late

For things to come my way

[G6/9]

It always ends up the same

I must be missing, I must be missing the point

[G6/9]

Your signal fades away and all I'm left with is noise

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

 There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

Poor little tin man still swinging his axe,

Even though his joints are clogged with rust

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

[G6/9]

Safe in monotony, (so safe), day after day

[G6/9]

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away

[G6/9]

Cold wind blows off the lake, and I know for sure that it's too late

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

 There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

So wait up, I'm not sleeping alone again tonight

 There's so much to dream about, there must be more to my life

 Between the light and shallow waves is where I'm going to die

 So, wait up for me (x3)
