Don't Wait Up Lyrics
Don’t wait up, for her tonight
‘Cause she won’t be coming home
Don’t wake up till it gets light
By then she’ll be long gone
Her restless heart has set its sail
She can feel the waves washing over
She knows what life with you entails
You love her strength, you despise your weakness
Don’t wait up, for her tonight
‘Cause she won’t be calling home
Don’t wake up till it gets light
And the dogs are scratching at the door
Your jealous heart has won the day
You can feel the darkness creeping over
She paid the man and sailed away
Leaving you your incompleteness
‘Cause she won’t be coming home
Don’t wake up till it gets light
By then she’ll be long gone
She can feel the waves washing over
She knows what life with you entails
You love her strength, you despise your weakness
‘Cause she won’t be calling home
Don’t wake up till it gets light
And the dogs are scratching at the door
You can feel the darkness creeping over
She paid the man and sailed away
Leaving you your incompleteness

this song is like a rolled up news paper that whacks me on the head every night i listen to it. colin hay is basically saying that the girl was right there in front of you, and you missed your chance to keep her. so don't bother counting on her conveniently coming into your life anymore because you were too passive in your showing interest in her.
