A Long Wait On Nothing

Outside it’s unfriendly, unsafe, unsound
Within these four walls I sit and look
At all the lonely people rushing, here, there and everywhere
Standing in line on shifting ground

We don’t know how to stay in
We don’t know how to play
We don’t know we have time
When life gets in the way

It’s a long wait on nothing
A never ending song
It’s a river like a mirror
A search for your King Kong

Yesterday’s newspapers
Are todays false news
It’s criminal how we don’t see
Into the beggars eyes

And we can’t sing together
And we can’t dance
Wear your favourite summer dress
We’ve only sweet romance
