AVIDLY WAITING
I've been avidly waiting to meet you,
Wondering when you'd come along.
Nobody knows how to describe you,
Some get your description quite wrong.
Don't keep me waiting this way,
I'm weak with longing for you.
Till I can see you I'll stay
Avidly waiting for you.
I've spent too long standing on corners,
Hoping you'd come into sight;
Hope that dies as soon as it's born
As you disappear in the night.
Don't keep me waiting this way...
I've been listening in vain for your footfall,
Hearing nothing but far-away sounds;
The faintest of whispers make no sense at all -
Just the rustling of leaves on the ground.
Don't keep me waiting this way...
I've been wasting my time going nowhere,
Digging my hole in the ground,
But I know that you're waiting somewhere,
Waiting just to be found.
Don't keep me waiting this way...
