Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

 

when you're tumbling down the face of the wave 

stumblin' down the street in the rain 

i'm here 

i'll catch you when you're ready to fall 

i know you've got to go your own way 

speak to the world in your own language 

but when you're ready to talk 

you can walk through my door.

 

you don't have to take it from me 

go on and see whatever you see 

i'm here 

i'll wait for you to figure it out 

'cause baby i believe in love 

so when you've finally had enough 

you don't have to call 

you just walk through my door

 

i'm here—baby, don't you worry 

i'm here—i'm not in any hurry 

i'm here—i'll wait for you to change your mind

 

i don't know why it's always so tough 

maybe the devil himself is opposed to love 

but i'm here 

prayin' he don't fake you out 

baby we all make mistakes 

so however long it takes 

is how long i'm gonna wait 

you don't even have to knock 

you just walk through that door...

 

i'm here
