'Til You Come To Me Lyrics
A sleepless night in the city
No peace and quiet in the city
It's hotter
Than the water
From a boiler
In the basement of Hell
In this low rent, walk-up, broken-down hotel
Counting the cracks on the ceiling
Flat on my back, and I'm feeling
Lower than the roaches in the tunnels of the one and the nine
And the clock says that I'm half past losing my mind
Through the tick tock tick, I can hear the faucet drip
When the neighbors brawl, I can hear 'em through the wall
But I'm waiting, I keep waiting
'Cause I want you
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
And I want to
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
High noon, same room
This is when it gets so suffocating the air sits
Heavy, like the weight of my regret for ever
Letting you go
And it don't matter whether the windows are opened or closed
There's a beep, beep beat from the traffic in the street
And a bang, bang, bang, like a hammer in my brain
As I'm fading, going crazy
'Cause I want you
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
And I want to
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
'Cause I want you
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
And I want to
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
Hey, hey, hey
Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me (x4)
No peace and quiet in the city
It's hotter
Than the water
From a boiler
In the basement of Hell
In this low rent, walk-up, broken-down hotel
Flat on my back, and I'm feeling
Lower than the roaches in the tunnels of the one and the nine
And the clock says that I'm half past losing my mind
When the neighbors brawl, I can hear 'em through the wall
But I'm waiting, I keep waiting
'Cause I want you
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
This is when it gets so suffocating the air sits
Heavy, like the weight of my regret for ever
Letting you go
And it don't matter whether the windows are opened or closed
And a bang, bang, bang, like a hammer in my brain
As I'm fading, going crazy
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
I want you back again,
I can remember when you and I were one
I wanna change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time, bearing my misery
'Til you come to me
You'll come back to me (x4)

OMG I love this song, and why no one's commented I've no idea. Obviously about a break-up, he had really fallen for her, and now he's stuck at home, waiting for her to call, to show up, etc. He's quite confident too, that she'll return "Just you wait and see/You'll come back to me".
It's kind of like the song "Flowers On The Wall" by the Statler Brothers (though I like the Eric Heatherly version better......... MUCH better. Country's better than old-fogie, crowded-around-one-microphone music.)
