Two thoughts: It's either about a man falling in love with a hooker.... Or it's about the downturn and current debilitated state of Detroit. Don't ask me why on that second one, just seems like it could be.
Wait So Long
Lyrics
I could never pretend that I don't love you
You could never pretend that I'm your man
That's exactly the way that I want it
That's exactly the way that I am
And you call me in the morning with your troubles
Takin' it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above ya
I got my hands on the ground
And you know I'm right
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens
Liven up honey it ain't that bad
Any afterthought rose to recognition
Like every other coffin that I had
And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca
Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
Then you take up hope at the politicians
Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
You know that I help you if I can
But I'm just a raindrop in a river
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this
With all the bad habits that I've learned
But it's better than your fiber 'n fornication
And all the dirty money that you earn
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long

That's all we got for #
I think it’s about a hooker as well. She calls him in the morning with her troubles because she’s downtown every night. Coffee stained earth = crying about her profession, fornication and dirty money. Yeah, he loves a stripper and is OK with it, he’d change it if he could but he’s just one guy, he can’t fix the world.
