lyrics

I’ve been waiting by a temple
close to your old home
Smog and chanting of ancient prayers
fill the air as you arrive alone

You said you smelled my / cologne
from around the corner, knew it was me
You’ve traveled far,
what have you seen?

I’ve got to meet you there, just say when
I’ve got to meet you by the temple someday again

Do you remember our sleeper car in the desert
moving slowly?
We’ve got grown up jobs now so we can get
better seats, better drinks
So let’s go for a week

I’ve got to meet you there, just say when
I’ve got to meet you by the temple someday again

Let’s steal away we’re just getting older
Vacation days don’t roll over
To the next job or the next life
Before we know it, our youth is
gone like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night

I’ve got to meet you there, just say when
I’ve got to meet you by the temple someday again

Two weeks later
And you’ve been waiting
by a temple close to your old home
I arrive in a taxi and you hurry on in
cause we’ve got places to go
We’ve got places to go
