WAITED

WAITED

WAITED FOR A BUS

THAT NEVER CAME

MAYBE THE SCHEDULE 

GOT RE-ARRANGED

BUT ALL I KNEW WAS

IT LEFT ME WALKING

DOWN THE ROAD ALONE

THE MOON ALREADY ON THE STAGE

THE STARS ALREADY TRYING TO SHINE

LIFE LEFT ME BEHIND

NOBODY OR NOTHING AROUND

THE CRASHING OF THE WAVES

THE ONLY SOUND

WAITED ALL DAY FOR SOMEONE

THAT NEVER CAME

NEVER SHOWED UP AT ALL

LIKE IT WAS JUST SOME KIND OF GAME

WELL THERE I WON BY DEFAULT

NOW I DON'T HAVE TO PLAY

WAITED FOR SOMETHING

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DUE

WORKED SO HARD FOR IT

THE YEARS JUST FLEW

THEN IT CAME AND YOU SAW

ME SMILE

SO YOU TOOK IT ALL AWAY

I HAD TO LEAVE THEN

I COULDN'T STAY

LEFT ME ALONE

SEARCHING FOR A WAY

TO START AGAIN

NO QUARTER TO BE FREE

EVERY TIME I GET CLOSE

IT MOVES A LITTLE FARTHER AWAY

FROM ME

YOU MIGHT HEAR ME CURSING SOFTLY

OR YOU MIGHT NOT GET AN ANSWER

 AT ALL

THE TRANSFORMATIONS ALREADY TAKEN

SHOULDN'T HAVE WAITED

SHOULD OF GOT UP AND WENT

IN THESE EYES

THE STORIES THEY COULD TELL

IT HASN'T BEEN ALL WELL AND GOOD

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN

YOU'VE DONE ALL YOU COULD

KEEP THIS GOING

DO YOU THINK I SHOULD

WAITED FOR AN ANSWER

OR A SIGN

ITS NOT COMING MAYBE

I GOT LEFT BEHIND

I'VE BEEN ALL THROUGH THIS

I'LL BE FINE.
