Wait for You - The Mountain Goats

When it came time to wait for you

I took the bus to malibu

Found a cafe by the ocean

Watched the sky for signs

And a rainbow in the west

Wrapped its coils around the earth like a serpent

I felt like I was going to suffocate

But I knew this was not the day you would finally come my way

But I waited all the same

Watched the water through the window

And a rainbow in the west

Held its head beneath the waves and grew dimmer

Nothing anyone could do I suppose
