Sound and Vision #5: The Fiery Furnaces - Waiting to Know You

The Fiery Furnaces - Waiting to Know You

I’m… waiting to know you by the way
Send up a balloon, says write to me soon, yeah
I’m waiting to know you by the way
Set up at the pier, wait 'til you get here yeah

And when I’m about to give up hope,
But nope,
with my telescope,
I’m standing guard the Navy yard
To see: could there one for me be?

Baby oh no,
Where did you go?

I’m… waiting to know you by the way
Flashlight the cave, listen short-wave, yeah
I’m waiting to know you by the way
Dredge up the lake, all the trees shake, yeah

And when I’m about to give up hope,
But nope,
with my telescope,
I’m standing guard the Navy yard
To see: could there one for me be?

Baby oh no,
Where did you go?

I’m…waiting to know you by the way
Send up a balloon, says write to me soon, yeah
I’m waiting to know you by the way
Flashlight the cave, listen short-wave, yeah

And when I’m about to give up hope,
But nope,
with my telescope,
I’m standing gone the Navy yard
To see: could there one for me be?

Baby oh no,
Where did you go?

Baby oh no,
Where did you go?
