Wait for You by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it came time to wait for you
I took the bus to Malibu
Found a café by the ocean
Watched the sky for signs

[Chorus]
And a rainbow in the west
Wrapped its coils around the earth like a serpent
I felt like I was going to suffocate

[Verse 2]
But I knew this was not the day
You would finally come my way
But I waited all the same
Watched the water through the window

[Chorus]
And a rainbow in the west
Held its head beneath the waves and grew dimmer
Nothing anyone could do I suppose
