Lyrics
A glove on the railing Left there by the park Somebody found it fallen Set it up in the dark One small empty hand Waving in the rain Waiting for its owner To come back again Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Someone's coming back Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Down the lamplit track Footsteps hurry past Umbrellas in a line Nobody quite notices The small kind sign But a stranger placed it Gently out of the wet So the one who lost it Could find it yet Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Someone's coming back Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Down the lamplit track Things get lost And things get found Kindness leaves a trail All around Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Someone's coming back Wait for me, little glove, wait for me Down the lamplit track Wait for me Someone's coming back
