How Long Must I Wait For You - Lyrics by Joe Jackson


Lyrics

You told me you would me at the station gate
For our honeymoon excursion
You told me you would me at the station gate
But i got a different version
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
Train number four is gone
Train number five is gone
Train number six is been gone
How long must i wait for you?

I got my tickets and a reservation set for two
Luggage waiting on the track
But i got no use for reservations without you
I got to give the tickets back
Cause train number one is back
Train number two is back
Train number three is been back
How long must i wait for you?

You told me you would me at the station gate
For our honeymoon excursion
You told me you would me at the station gate
But i got a different version
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
Train number four is gone
Train number five is gone
Train number six is been gone
How long must i wait for you?

I got the tickets and a reservation set for two
Luggage waiting on the track
But i got no use for reservations without you
I got to give the tickets back
Cause train number one is back
Train number two is back
Train number three is been back
How long must i wait for you?
How long, baby
How long, baby
How long, how long . . .
How long must i wait for you?
