And if you're waiting at the house where I should be I'll be by, don't you cry And if the door is shut the lock is open free And I'll be by, don't you cry - wait for me
And if you're looking for a place to rest your head You can sleep a hundred years inside my bed And if the night wind blows a shiver and a chill Take my blankets down and use them all you will mm hm
And if you're waiting at the house where I should be I'll be by, don't you cry And if the door is shut the lock is open free I'll be by, don't you cry, wait for me
And if your stomach cries you need something to eat Take my food because it's laying at your feet When early morning brings a blinking of the eye turn around cause I'll be laying at your side - yes I will
And if you're waiting at the house where I should be And if the door is shut the lock is open free Wait for me
There's a thunder storm 'a brewin' And the day is turning gray There ain't much to say about the weather The shower stall is leakin' And the ceiling's fallin' in And I'm getting twenty bills to every letter

A roving band of youths beat up on Johnny Everybody's gettin' richer sellin' that dope Say, the stolen bikes are gathering by the thousands Along with seven million people without a hope

He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
He sculpted he form only both of them knew He yearned to finish before she would leave him forever But before he was finished, she disappeared And seized with sadness, he crumbled the statue to bits
Form and friend, gone forever Both crumbled down to memory
He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
