[Verse 1]
I said to the river running through my heart
You got a long way to go until the waters part
Come the clouds rollin’ in and all the people hide
They say, 'run run, baby, to the sunnyside'
[Verse 2]
I said to the preacher standing at my door
'Why you chasin’ a rainbow when you got a star?'
He said, 'You’re gonna be sorry, if you open that lid'
I said, 'It’s too late, Daddy, I already did'
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, don’t wait up for me
Oh, oh, 'cause you ain’t gonna like what you see
No no no
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
[Verse 3]
I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve
I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell
I said the midnight hour is gonna take me home
And today’s sorrow will be here no more
I said to the river running through my heart
You got a long way to go until the waters part
Come the clouds rollin’ in and all the people hide
They say, 'run run, baby, to the sunnyside'
[Verse 2]
I said to the preacher standing at my door
'Why you chasin’ a rainbow when you got a star?'
He said, 'You’re gonna be sorry, if you open that lid'
I said, 'It’s too late, Daddy, I already did'
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, don’t wait up for me
Oh, oh, 'cause you ain’t gonna like what you see
No no no
Don't wait up
Don't wait up
[Verse 3]
I looked at the clock and it was quarter to twelve
I started counting the minutes to the freedom bell
I said the midnight hour is gonna take me home
And today’s sorrow will be here no more
