Waitin' Here All Night Lyrics

I stepped out of my car

And the angels they sang

Up on the old freeway

They sang to me in a voice like wires

Saying you would love me always

But I can't believe what they say

Certainly not today

God, He descends in a form like a woman

And I'm coming to terms with that

The angels, they take me to wait at your feet

Now, I'm looking up your dress

And I want you closer than this

Closer than you've ever guessed

Take me into your garden

And give me the name that you'd like

I'll be waitin' there all night

I'll be waitin' there all night

The birds on the street are sitting in trees

And they're gossiping about me

Sparrows don't sing and grackles don't laugh

They're just calling for love's repair

Like she ever really cared

Just feathers in the air

If I were a bird, I'd fly in your garden

I'd show you how to breath

I'd even fly to the palm of your hand

Where I'd feel the world around me

Collapsing so gently

Gently

Take me into your garden

And give me the name that you'd like

I'll be waitin' there all night

I'll be waitin' there all night

I'm not a bird and you're not a bird

But we're flying against the wind

Me and the angels up on the freeway

We'll be singing for you always

Just killing off our days

Feathers float away

Take me into your garden

And give me the name that you'd like

I'll be waitin' there all night

I'll be waitin' there all night

I'll be waitin' there all night
