Waiting For Sue

With an absent mind I'm drawing lines into the sand
Thoughtless figures emerge, meaningless at best
Already spent an hour or four, waiting for my waitress
A dog steals a bread - I light another cigarette

I'm here
Always

I'm always here for you

In the distance I hear some kids playing ball on a field
Victorious cries
The sun is burning hot, sweat dripples down my neck
I squint my eyes and reach for my shades

I'm here
Always

I'm always here for you

I've been staring at this door for eternity times three
Or so it seems
This fucking parking lot is turning into a cage
I feel trapped, yet I long for this place

I'm here
But where the fuck are you?

I'm near
But nowhere... where are you?

I'm here
But where the fuck are you?

I'm near
But got no fucking clue

And then the door opens
But still no sign of you
This diner of disillusion
Forms a black hole in my soul

This must be real, right?
This cannot be a dream, right?

This better be real
This better be true
It better be real
It better be you
'Cause I've spent my
Whole life waiting for you

With an absent mind
I'm drawing lines into the sand
Night has fallen over me, manifest of loss
But the wait will never end if I will not give up
With new found hope I light another cigarette
