got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket,
I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke it,
til we're staring at the stars and the rockets,
twinkling in the silvery night.
Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I'm not gonna drink them,
I swear I'll make it last,
til we're drinking out of the same glass again.
and though the sand may be washed by the sea,
and the old will be lost in the new,
well four will not wait for three,
for three never waited for two,
and though you will not wait for me,
I'll wait for you,
Got a polaroid picture in my wallet,
I'm not going to tear it no I'm not gonna spoil it,
It's an unspoken heartbreak,
a heartbroken handshake i'll take with me where I go.
And three words on the tip of my tongue,
not to be spoken nor sung,
or whispered to anyone,
til I scream them at the top of my lungs again.
and though the sand may be washed by the sea,
and the old will be lost in the new,
well four will not wait for three,
for three never waited for two,
and though you will not wait for me,
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you.
and I'll wait for you.
Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket,
I'm not gonna roll it no I'm not gonna smoke it,
til we're staring at the stars and the rockets,
twinkling in the silvery night.

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
