Waitin' For The Day Lyrics

I no longer can recall
All the times you made me crawl
All the times you made me hang my head and cry
But still the teardrops fall
And lord, what's worst of all
I just ain't got the nerve to say goodbye

I'm waiting for the day
When I can hide my love away
And stand up like a man so tall and free
Then you'll be the one to say
Oh darlin', can't you stay
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

Girl, I don't know why
You always have to try
To hurt me to make me feel ashamed
But some day by and by Townes Van Zandt - Waitin' For The Day - http://motolyrics.com/townes-van-zandt/waitin-for-the-day-lyrics.html
You're gonna be the one to cry
And walk the floor and sadly call my name

I'm waitin' for the day
When I can hide my love away
And stand up like a man
So tall and free
Then you'll be the one to say
Oh darlin' can't you stay
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

But it looks like until then
I'll throw pride to the wind
And try and make believe that I don't know
That a day is coming when
You won't do me wrong again
And I will be the one to turn and go
