She waits by the window
To see if love is near
Her head on the pillow
She yields to tears

Standing in front of your light
Nothing is turning out right
Nothing comes out from inside
Nothing is turning out right
Ooh

She waits at the window
To see her tears
She’s asking the question
Why he’s not here it isn’t clear

Standing in front of your light
Nothing is turning out right
Nothing comes out from inside
Nothing is turning out right
Ooh

Standing in front of your light
Nothing is turning out right
Nothing for her is in sight
Nothing is turning out right
Ooh

She waits at the window
To see if love is near
She’s asking the question
Why he’s not here it isn’t clear
She’s waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
She waits at the window
She waits at the window
