Waiting Lyrics

I can talk but I cannot say

Why I feel this dull, aching sadness in my heart today

I could be in love, or pain, or with the queen drinking tea

Or in a convalescent group home with a friendly staff and free cable TV

But I'd still be waiting

Waiting for these clouds to go

Waiting for my heart to fly

And I can laugh but I cannot explain

Why I feel this dull, and aching sadness in my heart again

It could be some God-given gift, it could be some God-awful joke

It could be that Daily Fear of Dying of which I'm well aware we've already spoke

Either way I'm waiting

I'm waiting for these clouds to go

I'm waiting for my heart to fly

All my love could not fill up the hollow space of a paper cup

I'm so tired

And I don't want to feel like this anymore

The fridge is empty, the heat is on the blink

And there's a four-foot stack of dishes at the side of the sink

All the plants are dead, the milk's gone bad, my head is not too well

In fact it's an hour away from butter and the major cause of that god awful smell

The milk I mean

And I'm waiting

I'm just waiting for these clouds to go

I'm waiting for my heart to fly

I'm off to be where the warm air blows, the whippoorwills and the river flows

Cause I'm tired

And I don't want to feel like this no more

But I'm waiting

I'm waiting for these clouds to go

It's like a, yeah

I'm waiting and I'm gonna fly

Yes I am

I'm gonna pack up this place

I'm gonna get on that train, I'm gonna fly

Every day, every day, every day I'm

Waiting
