waiting here,
sitting on the front step.

watching them all,
all walking by.

some,
oh yes some,
glance towards me.

beat down,
scarred up,
bloody and hurt.

but still i wait,
right here,
at your house.

i know you've,
you've just stepped out
for a minute,
yes,
just a minute.

i can wait,
while you're out.
just a while is all.

still they look,
and mock me as well,
just like the rest.

i sit,
and i listen.
they walk,
and mock the whole way.

where,
oh where are you?
i know when you,
when you get here it'll,
it'll be fine

i've sat here,
for days now.

it's rained you know?
and someone,
wearing a suit came up.

carried a sign,
stuck it in the,
in the front lawn.

i know now,
i know very well,
what happened while,
while i was gone.

your cold was worse,
worse then you said.

phenumonia took you,
thats all they say.

i found your grave.
it's true but,
but you,
you broke your part,
your part of our promise.

i said i'd be back,
you said you'd wait,
i kissed you farewell,
and went across that sea.

so why,
why didn't you wait?

you're what kept me alive.
but now what,
what do i do?

i'm tired of waiting.
oh so tired,
i think it's time i,
i took my leave.
