I waited, I waited and waited some more No one came knocking, no one at the door And the years went by and by For over fifty years I sat squatted, Still nothing. I grew older than dirt Two eyes gather dust My heart has died quietly My liver has turned bitter My kidneys have failed While on a hospital waiting list It was all very boring While waiting I looked at the time While waiting I wrote a death letter While waiting I watched birds grow wings The broken hands of the clock Time had stopped I have taken vows To keep waiting It's all over now Life’s lesson learned My breath bated. kick the legs away Nothing comes to those who waited

The Waiting Game
I waited, I waited and waited some more No one came knocking, no one at the door And the years went by and by For over fifty years I sat squatted, Still nothing. I grew older than dirt Two eyes gather dust My heart has died quietly My liver has turned bitter My kidneys have failed While on a hospital waiting list It was all very boring While waiting I looked at the time While waiting I wrote a death letter While waiting I watched birds grow wings The broken hands of the clock Time had stopped I have taken vows To keep waiting It's all over now Life’s lesson learned My breath bated. kick the legs away Nothing comes to those who waited
