lirik lagu frank watkinson - the waiting

[chorus]
he stands outside his front door like he does most every day
and he listens to the sound of the cars as they rumble on their way
he still remembers the view he had back then in ’73
but now the trees are all gone
and there’s a road where the fields used to be

[verse 1]
he steps back into his living room, to escape that awful drone
he remembers how it used to be when everyone was still at home
but these walls feel like a cage now, since everyone’s been gone
he wipes the dust off his old guitar and tries to sing a song
[refrain]
oh fare thee well, my own sweet love, your face, i long to see
one day, we will be joined again for all eternity

[verse 2]
his wife of thirty years, they say, was the first of them to go
the doctors, they were helpless and the cancer took her slow
his daughters both got married, eventually they both left home
but they would visit him quite often at first
so he wouldn’t feel alone

[verse 3]
but life gets complicated and too much work has to be done
the visits, they got fewer and slowly became none
every now and then a phone call, they’d beep, to see if he was alright
and if they had the time to spare, he might just get a call on skype

[refrain]
so fare thee well, my own sweet love, your face, i long to see
one day, we will be joined again for all eternity

[verse 4]
so he puts his old guitar back in the corner on the floor
and wonders, “why do i keep this? i hardly play it anymore”
for now, it just reminds me of a life that used to be
when these four walls would echo to the songs of the family
[chorus]
so he stands outside his front door like he does most every day
and he listens to the sound of the cars as they rumble on their way
he looks down at the dog beside him and says
“it must be that time of day
fetch your ball, i’ll get my coat
hey marshall, what do you say?”

[refrain]
oh fare thee well, my own sweet love, your face, i long to see
one day, we will be joined again for all eternity
for all eternity, come on boy
