I'll be getting up, taking
Only space can come between us right now, yeah
You've been making stories inside
Can I influence your thinking somehow? Yeah

I'm sailing on your love and I crossed the border
Are you waiting for me?
If times are getting rough, will you let me know?
Will you let me know?

I'm sailing on your love
She says, "Boy, don't keep me waiting for too long"
I'm sailing on your love
Why do you always keep me waiting for so long?
I'm sailing on your love
She says, "Boy, don't keep me waiting for too long"

I'll be packing up, coming home
Painting pictures on the back of your mind, eh
Don't go waiting up, holding on
'Cause I might not get to see you tonight

I'm sailing on your love and we crossed the border
Are you waiting for me?
If times are getting rough, will you let me know?
Will you let me know?

I'm sailing on your love
She says, "Boy, don't keep me waiting for too long"
I'm sailing on your love
Why do you always keep me waiting for so long?
I'm sailing on your love
She says, "Boy, don't keep me waiting for too long"
I'm sailing on your love
Why do you always keep me waiting, always keep me waiting?

I know that you're waiting for someone to hold ya'
I know that you're waiting for someone to ease your mind, oh
I know that you're waiting for someone to hold ya'
I know that you're waiting for someone to ease your mind, oh

I'm sailing on your love and we crossed the border
Are you waiting for me?
If times are getting rough, will you let me know?
Will you let me know?

I'm sailing on your love
Waiting for someone to hold ya'
I'm sailing on your love
Waiting for someone to ease your mind, oh

I'll be riding the oceans on your love
On your love, ay
I'm sailing on your love
I'll be riding the oceans on your love
On your love, on your love
I'm sailing on your love
I'll be riding the oceans on your love
On your love, ay
I'm sailing on your love
I'll be riding the oceans on your love
On your love, on your love

Oh, why do you always keep me waiting?
Always keep me waiting
