lyrics

Living by the river where your timezone ends
I met you on a breather
from your family and friends
oh why'd you go away
oh babe did it have to be this way

Jumping over Europe going place to place
going round and round in circles
with a smile on your face
oh that happy face
wanna see that happy face

what we had isn't lost
what he have is the past
in our perfect pocket
in our perfect pocket
P-p-pocket of love

Five years down the line I stayed here with you
I'd be homeless in a gutter if it wasn't for you
you wouldn't even believe
how much you're doing for me

Sitting by the river where our timezone ends
spending time together with our family and friends
I guess it went this way
Oh I am here to stay

what we had isn't lost
what he have is the now
in our perfect pocket
in our perfect pocket
P-p-pocket of love

Living by the river where your timezone ends
I met you on a breather
from your family and friends.
It didn't go the way
I thought it would that day.

about

The Long Wait

We play melodic folk rock that sits somewhere between the old school classic folk rock of Fleetwood Mac and the modern country pop of Brandi Carlile. We'd like to think we play music for anyone who can relate to strong harmonies, rich acoustic/electric guitar blends and popular song structure. ... more
