For You - Roky Erickson

I have tried and tried everything I know how

I have died and died because of that familiar result I could allow

I have cried and cried uneasy days and sleepless nights too

But there’s nothing I do but wait for you

There are other girls I am sure but not for me to go for

The hard life is around but I only try to score

I’d be alone all the time keeping completely true

I who would wait forever wait for you

How must it take so long

I can only try in these unsure times to be strong

Until I can know of something further of I belong

I’ll just have to wait and wait and hope and hope and hope

That I’m not wrong

I can’t plant any more plants

I can’t light any more fires for your pain

I can’t lay any more traps

My traps have already been laid with all bait

I could kiss you, so many things I would do with you

But there’s nothing I do but wait for you
