    Lyrics

    Waiting for a friend

    In the lobby of the music building at the local university

    I was reading Walk Around by David Blair

    All silent except for one low note, barely audible

    Between a hiss and a hum, coming from the central air


    No one around except for me


    Until there burst from the elevator

    A quartet of 30-something ladies who sat across from me

    Three of them speaking rapidly in a foreign language

    Punctuated by snatches of loud music from their phones

    While the fourth read her messages, only chiming in on occasion to agree


    Overflowing with laughter and life

    Overflowing with laughter


    While some worship the respectful silence of the shared space

    Be it gallery, public transit, or the aforementioned lobby

    Others surrender themselves unselfconsciously to life

    Like a faucet turned on full and left running for eternity

    Considering the water of conversation a thing to be immersed in

    Splashed about, and enjoyed, not hoarded like a precious resource


    Overflowing with laughter and life

    Overflowing with laughter


    Stay a while

    Tell your story to me

    Stay a while

    Tell your story to me

    My batteries are low

    And my heart is sinking

    Tell your story to me

    Tell your story to me

    Tell your story to me
