Notes:

Ryan Adams to Uncut Magazine: "Written the day before I met Ms. Winona Ryder.  She was passing through, I was fooling about in the studio with The Pink Hearts.  That's how I remember it.  It was a really good week.  I think I wrote it about an American sit-com about vampires called Dark Shadows.  But I don't remember too well.  When The Pink
Hearts are around a lot of pot tends to get smoked."

Lyrics:

Here's a picture of your lonely Fridays
Turned to nothing on a Friday night
Firecracker with a pile of empties
Detonated with a lonely fire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the phone and wonder
Is this explosion gonna set me reeling?
Or just another thing to pull me under?
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, because I've been waiting for a sign 
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
Are you the one?
And I was breathless on a Sunday morning
And I was speechless on a Sunday night
For a lack of better understanding
Felt like an engine that just didn't need a tire
I see your face, I hear your voice
I touch the screen and wonder
And I been waiting for the sun to tell me
It's just been sitting here, I don't know why
If you could give me anything tonight
Just a wink, or even just a sigh
I'll be okay, because I've been waiting for a sign 
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign, to come
To come
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been waiting for a sign
To come
I've been waiting for a sign
