The One Who Waits

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

The platform hums a low and patient tune

Your gloves are damp from holding mine so long

A porter calls a name that isn't mine

And somewhere down the line a whistle cries

Pre-Chorus

So hold this thought

Hold it tight

Fold it small

Keep it warm

Chorus

Promise me you'll remember me

When the miles pile up between us

Promise me you'll remember me

Say my name when the evenings go quiet

I'll be the one who waits

I'll be the one who waits

Verse 2

Your scarf still smells of cinnamon and rain

I counted every window on the train

A woman reads a letter near the door

And I rehearse the things I should have said

Pre-Chorus

So hold this thought

Hold it close

Tuck it deep

Keep it safe

Chorus

Promise me you'll remember me

When the miles pile up between us

Promise me you'll remember me

Say my name when the evenings go quiet

I'll be the one who waits

I'll be the one who waits

Bridge

Not forever

Just till spring

Not a vow

Just a small and gentle thing

Remember me

Remember me

Chorus

Promise me you'll remember me

When the miles pile up between us

Promise me you'll remember me

Say my name when the evenings go quiet

I'll be the one who waits

I'll be the one who waits

I'll be the one who waits
