Waiting

Won’t you live my life for me?

Cos I’m too scared to sail to sea

To laugh in ragged company

And run the risk of revelry

Just waiting

She’s waiting to be asked to dance

Hoping he might take a stance

To change her stale circumstance

Will he walk by without a second glance?

She’s waiting

I long to share her breathe with mine

And feel our pulses beat in time

Is this me talking or the wine?

Just waiting

He’s worried that the game might start

Everything could fall apart

Get shot down on love’s rampart

But what’s another broken heart?

Kept waiting

I long to share her breathe with mine

To feel our pulses beat in time

Is this me talking or the wine?

Just waiting

Waiting for the cock to crow

The dawning’s ready steady go

Feel the seasons ebb and flow

There’s a prisoner on death row

Still waiting

Waiting for the tide to turn

Watch the lazy candle burn

Damaged goods you can’t return

A book you read but you didn’t learn

Still waiting

I long to share her breathe with mine

And  feel our pulses beat in time

Is this me talking or the wine?

Just waiting

Just waiting

Just waiting

Just waiting
