To the man who lost his mind
Left home for the last time
They found him in the wintertime
Looking for something he couldn't find

They shipped him way out West
Thought they'd put their minds at rest
Now they've thrown the key away
And there's nothing left to say

Waiting for a saviour
Show me you're so sad
Wipe the tears that you've had
Show me you're so sad

To the girl who lives next door
Wonders what her life is for
She's waiting for her valentine
To kiss her in the summertime

He doesn't come and so she cries
Locks her door and hopes to die
Now she's thrown the key away
And there's nothing left to say

Waiting for a saviour
Show me you're so sad
Wipe the tears that you've had
Show me you're so sad

Now to the ones you've left behind
Were they not worth your time
They never heard you say goodbye
They never got a reason why

And here's to you who couldn't see
What it was you did to me
Now you've thrown it all away
And there's nothing left to say
And there's nothing left to say

Waiting for a saviour
Show me you're so sad
Wipe the tears that you've had
Show me you're so sad
