Waiting At The Gate Carly Simon

[Verse 1]
An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer
Still I never would have guessed that you'd wind up here
In a halfway house on a dead-end street
In a run-down part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, don't worry 'bout your girl
Cause I won't run away and I won't run around
And I won't let you down and without a doubt
I'll be waiting, waiting

[Chorus]
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
You set the world on fire, dancing after dark
Now you're playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
I'm not the one to judge you, so baby don't be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
I'll be back on the ninth, I've circled the date
Three o'clock sharp and I won't be late
You've been through hell I know what that's all about
And I'll be waiting, waiting

[Chorus]
