I waited for the green line,
To dance and dance in time.
I waited for a smile to show,
Above the cold stethoscope.
I waited for the white cloth,
To rise and fly like a newborn moth.
I waited for this coffin to move,
And dance to our favorite tune.
I waited for the headstone to be a prank,
Of your imaginative think tank.
I waited for the reverie of your voice,
To tease me for staring out of the window,
So much so that it's the only thing I do,
To wait for you is all I know
All lifelong I waited for you to be heavensent,
Waiting for you is all I know now,
Who saw that in the end,
It would be you waiting for me somehow.

And dance to our favorite tune.
I waited for the headstone to be a prank,

To tease me for staring out of the window,
So much so that it's the only thing I do,
To wait for you is all I know
All lifelong I waited for you to be heavensent,
Waiting for you is all I know now,
Who saw that in the end,
It would be you waiting for me somehow.
