The Waiting

The Waiting (等候) - Kevin Rowe

He has never felt

So over thrown

When he was living

In a house alone

But now she's living

With him all the time

It's so much harder

When they say goodbye

Everyday seems compromised

As another busy day

Comes rolling by

She hides little messages

Around the bedroom

And puts her clothes on in the dark

And now he wakes up

To the sound of her keys

Jingle in the front door

As she leaves

There's an empty space beside him

As another busy day starts rolling by

So he ties a ribbon on a box' signs

His name across the top

Turns some music on

And puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying baby when you're home'

I've got a little plan to spend

Some time on our own

You know'

I am just trying to say

That you are worth

The waiting everyday

She says she really wants to be

A nurse someday

Reads a thousand books

And puts them all away

She starts to write a essay

On the things she's learned

Before she has to stop again

And run to work

Little frustrations grow inside

As another busy day goes rolling by

So he ties a ribbon on a box'

Signs his name across the top

Turns some music on

And puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying baby when you're home'

I've got a little plan to spend

Some time on our own

You know' I am just trying to say

That you are worth

The waiting everyday

So he ties a ribbon on a box'

Signs his name across the top

Turns some music on

And puts some flowers in a pot

Leaves a message on her phone

Saying baby when you're home'

I've got a little plan to spend

Some time on our own

Cause you' you are worth

The waiting everyday

I know the weight of the world

Is sitting right upon your shoulders

I can't wait until we're home

And all of this is over

We'll be looking back on

All the years we're going through

Give a smile' raise a glass'

Say the things we'll never do again

And I am just trying to say

That you are worth the waiting everyday
