One of these days I'm waiting on a day When nobody comes to trample my meadow Biding my time There's gonna be a time Might take a while But changes are coming And it won't be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I won't see you on the bathroom floor In the tangle of clothes we left lying there It won't be long One of these nights With company I find I won't be inclined to leave before sunrise When my eyes, my mouth, my hands, my head Don't tell me that nobody else will do And it won't be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I won't see you on the bedroom floor In the tangle of rope we left lying there It won't be long It won't be long 'Till it's all gone And it won't be long When everything you said Won't sit around and pile up with the traffic in my head And when I wake up I won't see you by the bedroom door In the wallpaper stained by the cup that I threw at your head It won't be long
