I'll Be Waiting

It's hard to change a narrowed mind No matter how hard I try and I try I want to hold her shaking hand And tell her that Ma I understand This is not what you chose for yourself It's been chosen by someone else I think it's time for you to come home And I'll be waiting with tea on the stove I remember you bright as the sun Before you became completely undone I was patient until I had two mouths to feed I hope you understand This is not what you chose for yourself It's been chosen by someone else I think it's time for you to come home And I'll be waiting with tea on the stove I can't grieve if you're still here I could cleanse you with my tears Tonight This is not what you chose for yourself It's been chosen by someone else I think it's time for you to come home And I'll be waiting with tea on the stove
