Erasure
Waiting for the Day (Live) [Manchester, Manchester Apollo, UK - 1992/08/06]
[Verse 1]
It was only for a fight
That I asked you to come in
But you brought me tumbling down
And the walls came caving in

[Verse 2]
Won't you help me dry my tears
Help me roll away the years
Then perhaps I will forgive you
And the hurt will disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away
If you'd given me half a chance
I'll be waiting for the day

[Chorus]
For the day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me

[Verse 3]
So forget the long goodbye
You never really tried
Threw the keys down on the table
You've got your sense of pride
[Verse 4]
Then you had to tell the world
Your story must be heard
Slammed the door behind you
Without a single word

[Pre-Chorus]
But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away

[Chorus]
The day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
Come back to me
You, oh come back to me

[Bridge]
No I never had a single thought in my head
No I never had a single thought

[Chorus]
Oh for the day that you, oh come back to me
Come on back to me
You, oh come back to me
Come on back to me
[Post-Chorus]
You, oh come back to me
(You could be my life long friend)
(You could be the light of dawn)
(You could keep me close at hand)
(You could keep me safe and warm)

[Coda]
Don't you, oh come back to me
(I will be your fantasy)
(If you come and stay with me)
(I will try to give you all)
(Waiting for the night to fall)
