Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone
Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone

I see the mountains in my rear view mirror
I'm going towards the sea
I'm tired of drowning in that cold, cold river
you don't know what I've seen

Cuz I've been searching for such a long, long time for those golden words
I wish they'd show themselves to me just one more time, another lesson learned
so don't leave for tomorrow, what you can do today, don't leave no stone unturned
and if you don't cherish all that you've been given, you're the only one you've burned

Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone
Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone

I see the mountains in my rear view mirror
I'm going towards the sea
I'm tired of drowning in that cold, cold river
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen

I've got some questions, please help me understand how you disappeared
did you become one with that blue horizon just to make me face my fears
the simple memory of you is the single greatest test of all my years
the next time I hold you I promise you you'll know the taste of all my tears

Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone
Hey wait, wait up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
I won't give up shoo-bop-pa-do-bo
hey wait, where have you gone

I see the mountains in my rear view mirror
I'm going towards the sea
I'm tired of drowning in that cold, cold river
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen
you don't know what I've seen
