The Waiting Room Lyrics

Did the darkness

Stay with you?

Is the empty

With you still?

Every morning

Every evening

When the light goes to sleep behind the hills

Hospital chairs

Hold so much despair

So you paced with a prayer and the wait

And the weight of it all

In the waiting room

bracing for bad news

Nothing left to do

But wait

For the weight of it all

Is the darkness

Always with you?

Is the empty

With you still?

Heavy mournings

Heavy evenings

When the light goes to sleep behind the hills

The chaplain's refrain

Saying your love and pain

They are one and the same

When you've lost

One you love with your all

You hold the weight of it all

Hold the weight of it all

So we'll hold you

…hold the weight of it all

And we'll hold you

…hold the weight of it all

We'll hold you
