Lyrics Waiting for the Band - Nicky Hopkins

The night was black
It was the blackest that i've ever seen
I stopped a stranger and asked which way to go
He slapped me on the back
And then he laughed, and then he looked at me
Then he said, Sir, you can't get there from here, no, no, no, no
Without a road i cannot make it back to you
Without a light above i cannot find the way
Turn on your love light
Let it shine like a peek and wait you see me through
Cause baby, how can i be happy without you?
Faster, my heart is beating faster and I'm all alone
Strangers are all around me
No one here will tell me where to find a phone
Just like sitting on the studio waiting for the band to come
Sitting on the studio waiting for the band to come
And if the band don't come
By early in the morning
I'll have to find a way to have myself survive
Cause if the band don't show
By early in the morning
Then I'll be over darling waiting for the band to come
Slower I'm getting slower, I've heard these songs so much before
Lower im sinking lower, pretty soon you'll find me on the floor
Under the piano waiting for the band to come

Sitting waiting for the band to come
