Wait Lyrics by Jack Symes

Tompkins Park

2021

[Verse 1: Jack Symes]
Stream in the city
Water overflowing
The rainy years
Have made the water high
I want to know
So I drop my bucket
But all I get
Is water stuck in time

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Symes & Eva B. Ross]
I might as well stay dry

[Chorus: Jack Symes & Eva B. Ross]
Wait, dear
I'm trying
Wait, dear
I’m trying

[Verse 2]
Do I catch you cause I need you so
Fear between me and the rocks below
If you love her gotta let her go
Cause when she's still
She's running water no more

[Bridge: Jack Symes & Eva B. Ross]
Wait, dear
How do I catch you cause I need you so
I’m trying
Fear between me and the rocks below
Wait, dear
If you love her gotta let her go
I'm trying
Cause when she's still
She's running water no more

[Chorus: Eva B. Ross]
Wait, dear
I'm trying
Wait, dear
I'm trying
