Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
   I been waiting so long, a year has gone
   Look at all the people, strangers every one
   I've been looking so long, a year has gone
  
   You were all I lived for, I guess my life is through
   I've been living so long, a year has gone
   Lonely Sunday morning, rest in peace, my love
   You been sleeping so long, a year has gone
  
   How could I ever start to tell you
   The end is almost here?
   The song of love is ringing in my ears
   Playing loud, playing clear
   The song will never change
   The memory will always be so near
  
   Standing by the wayside, begging for a ride
   I been waiting so long, a year has gone
   Look at all the people, strangers every one
   I've been looking so long, a year has gone
