1 He is Waiting
2 Thin arms reaching towards you for an embrace
3 He welcomes you with a cool gentle kiss

2 Thin arms reaching towards you for an  embrace
5 His words are comforting
4 but they warned you about his ways

10 and a ticket to the other side


9 telling little white lies
3 He welcomes you with a cool gentle kiss
10 and a ticket to the other side
1 He is Waiting
