about

©Sam Gleaves, Fabulachian Music ASCAP
A beautiful song by the wonderful Sam Gleaves who has written many a good song.

lyrics

I give up on sleepin and I turn the light on
Turn an envelope over and I write til you’re gone
The porch light’s still burnin because you never came
Who was I expecting, looks like nothin has changed.’

But I’ve been to that crossroads and I’ve cleaned off that shelf
It’s just something you have to admit to yourself
Don’t count on me darlin cause I’ll be up and gone
And I’m waiting on you to come into your own.

Everything’s showing but nothin gets said
Good love goes wasted and we both go unfed
I take your love when it finds me and the evening is fine
And then the morning reminds me I was wasting my time.

But I’ve been to that crossroads and I’ve cleaned off that shelf
It’s just something that you have to admit to yourself
Don’t count on me darlin cause I’ll be up and gone
And I’m waiting on you to come into your own.
All things to their season and I won’t mourn you long
But I’m counting on you to come into your own.
