Lyrics (with demo variations):
While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it's good when I can finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says "how was your night?"
And I come to her and say "it was all right" and I hold her tight
And she believes in me, I'll never know just
what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, (and) I was wrong
While she lays waiting
I stumble/stagger to the kitchen for a bite
Then/And I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend and there's no end
While she lays crying
I fumble with a melody or two
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through
Ohhhhhh/How pathetic...
And she believes in me, I'll never know just
what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world
With my little songs, (and) I was wrong
But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right
I will find a way while she waits/lays
While she waits for me
