| Description | The track describes the dependence that couples have on each other when they are married for a long time as well as the impact when one of them inevitably departs. It’s inspired by singer Robert and Michael Coles' Grandma dying in 2012, inspiring Robert to write about how the “reality of death will strike one of you”, and the vacuum it leaves behind.[https://web.archive.org/web/20130927135726/http://ildormiglione.net/2013/09/25/little-comets-eng/] |
| Lyrics | [Pre-Chorus] It's like a wire, this crucial touch That holds me here, expects so much No disregard will tie me down I will be waiting, waiting for us [Verse] At 50 or 60 she'll leave me completely And one of us will coolly hold the other's hand No metaphor for this that I can understand Show me some love [Pre-Chorus] For a wire, this crucial touch That holds me here, expects so much No disregard, no girlish charm I will be waiting, waiting for us [Chorus] I will be waiting in the shadows of the dead of night (x8) [Verse] She'd hold me, and swayed me "Remember me daily" And all that will remain of us is photographs No metaphor for this that I can understand Show me [Pre-Chorus] This love's a wire, this crucial touch That holds me near, expects so much No disregard will tie me down I will be waiting, waiting for us [Chorus] I will be waiting in the shadows of the dead of night (x8) [Outro] It's like a wire That holds me here No disregard will tie me down I will be waiting, waiting for usYou might also like |
