Carly Simon
Have Your Seen Me Lately
Waiting At The Gate
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
An occasional joint, a glass or two of beer
Still i would never have guessed that youâd wind up here
In a half-way house, on a dead-end street
In a run-down part of a one-horse town
But just do what they say, donât worry âbout your girl
âcause i won't run away, and i won't run around
And i won't let you down, and without a doubt
Iâll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
You set the world on fire, dancing after dark
Now youâre playing solitaire in a fenced-in park
Iâm not the one to judge you, so baby donât be scared
No one gets a free ride, none of us is spared
Iâll be back on the ninth, iâve circled the date
Three oâclock sharp, and i won't be late
Youâve been through hell i know what thatâs all about
And iâll be waiting, waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out
The doctors have so little faith
They say you were a classic case
They said the chance is eight in ten
Theyâd see you back in here again
But iâm counting on you to prove the doctors wrong
Iâm imagining you, healthy and strong
Your papers all stamped, your eyes so bright and blue
Looking like a baby picture of you
Walking down the path, your suitcase in your hand
The howling at your back, a brand new man
Be a perfect little camper, be a brave little scout
And iâll be waiting waiting
Waiting at the gate when they let you out...
