Lyrics

Like a tadpole in a tide pool
waiting for the tide to come back round
or a soldier on a corner
waiting for a ride to town

I'll be waiting for you
waiting for you to fill this
hole in my heart

Like a tadpole in a puddle
waiting for the cloud to rain
or a soldier
out on furlough
waiting for the phone to ring

I'll wait for you
