THE WAIT

There are times
Times when both of us
Don’t feel the same.
There are signs
Signs that both of us
Can’t win the game.
There are lines
Lines that both of us
Won’t ever tame.
We find
Things to believe in
Carry that flame.

There are words
Words that one of us
Won’t ever say.
There are songs
Songs that both of us
Won’t ever play.
There are nights
Nights that never do
Turn into day.
We find
Things to believe in
Dawn anyway.

From the original liner notes: Lyrics written in March ’83 after an all-night jam session with TJ Hill. Music improvised a week later after listening to a lot of Ry Cooder. Can someone suggest a better title? I hate this overused one. A song about hope.
