Waiting for a Star to Fall - Boy Meets Girl

There's an old man livin' in the back of your woods tonight You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind He's livin' off of scraps of you, you never knew you left behind And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's comin' to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding time And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows you have the answers, but truth lies dusty on your shelf And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament and nothin' else You could put him back down in his hole in the ground, but he knows you never will He's been around so long, you got used to the smell He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's comin' to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light No, he's just biding his time And as you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He knows he'll never have your soul But he will gladly rob you blind While you're feasting at his table, he'll tie your hands and numb your mind He'll take you farther than you wanna go He'll keep you longer than you wanna stay And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's comin' to call But you don't see the writing on the wall He'll never step out in the light He's just biding his time And as you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall The old man's comin' to call But you don't see, you don't see the writing on the wall Oh, he's waiting on the night He's waiting on the night to fall He's waiting on the night to fall
