Текст песни Waiting On A Dark Eyed Gal - Nanci Griffith

Well, the midnight train can come and go without him
Oh, he don′t need no taxi back to town
He says he'll stay right here in the deep old light
He was supposed to meet someone dear tonight
He′s just sitting there thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal

No, he don't mind the rain, he never even noticed
He don't mind the cold, it wouldn′t matter anyhow
As a matter of fact, he could stay ′til the break of day
He don't see as he′s in anybody's way
He′s just sitting there thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal

She said she'd meet him at the station
He won′t believe she'd keep him waiting very long
Very long

She never told him if she was coming with him
Or if she only wanted to say a last farewell
Fare thee well
She never was one to let him know her mind
So he keeps hanging on now and doing his time
He's just sitting there thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal

Yeah, the midnight train has come and gone without him
Oh, he don′t need no taxi back to town
Says, "I′ll just stay right here in the deep old light"
He was supposed to meet someone dear tonight
He's just sitting there thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal

Yeah, he′s sitting there drinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal
