Waiting

from After the End by Joustene Lorenz

/

about

We’re all waiting for something—a train, a bus, a boiling kettle, a job, a Messiah. We may be waiting for the storm to fade or the wind to change directions. We may be waiting for the lights to turn green. Mostly, though, I’m waiting for someone who may be you. Will you come back?

lyrics

1.
Silence
Creeps down my street,
Cold winds
That whisper your name to me.
Moonbeams,
A lock of your hair,
Stranded in cadence
With nobody there.

2.
Pleasure,
Ghosts in my room,
Thinking of you
Like a bird in a storm,
Wild winds,
The light that shines through,
Destiny breaking
This moment in you.

CHORUS
So I’m waiting for you
Eye of the storm,
I’m waiting
Like a child to be born,
I’m waiting for you
Ocean and sea,
I’ll wait until you come back
To me.

3.
Crowded
Thoughts in my head,
Turning around
When I think that you’re there;
Cling to
The time that we lose,
Everything passes
Like flowers in bloom.

CHORUS
So I’m waiting for you
Eye of the storm,
I’m waiting
Like a child to be born,
I’m waiting for you,
Ocean and sea,
I’ll wait until you come back
To me—
To me, to me, to me.
