Then you stumbled and cursed the cat
Then I heard the motor turn over
I wonder, were you waiting for me
'Cause the night was so cold and quiet
Baby, I hope you know what you're doing
And I counted them one by one
Heard you walking down the stairs
Heard the jingle of your keys
You must have been there half an hour
Heard the tap of your high heels
And I heard you rustling around
One for each year that flew by
Or maybe it was the breeze
And the click of the lock on the door
For me to come down and call your name?
Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me
That was sleeping on the stairs under the stars
Heard your engine for a long, long time
Heard your slippers in the midnight hallway
Trying not to make a sound
Heard you stop and turn back once
And I heard you driving away
Then I thought that I heard you sigh
Heard you open the car door softly
Turning it all round in your head
Way before the break of day
You thought that I was fast asleep
Were you sitting there waiting
