The Mountain Goats - Wait For You lyrics

When it came time to wait for you I took the bus to malibu Found a cafe by the ocean Watched the sky for signs And a rainbow in the west Wrapped its coils around the earth like a serpent I felt like I was going to suffocate But I knew this was not the day you would finally come my way But I waited all the same Watched the water through the window And a rainbow in the west Held its head beneath the waves and grew dimmer Nothing anyone could do I suppose
