The Waiting Room (No Backing)歌词完整版

The Waiting Room

In the station shop

I bought a sign that said:

Waiting Room

And I took it home.

I put it on my bedroom door

And went inside to wait.

I wasn't sure what I was waiting for

Nor what time it would come, if at all.

There were no timetables

Although I was tempted to compile one,

Start pretending I knew what was going to happen

And set it in train at the designated hour.

The opposite was also a temptation:

To give up

Convinced that what I anticipated

Did not exist, so could never arrive.

But I held myself between these two positions

With two good strong bungees

Across my front

And around my back

So I could feel the tension increase

When I pushed forward or flopped back

Or lost focus and drifted away

From simply waiting.

It's hard to keep a mind open.

It's bewildering to wait

Especially when you don't know

What you're waiting for.

I imagine I'm a taxi driver at airport arrivals

I hold a sign with the name of a stranger

Scan the traffic

Of incoming passengers

I'm looking for the face

Which will approach me

With the relief in its eyes which says:

I've found you.

Thank you for waiting for me:

I'm your idea

I'm your poem

I'm your instruction for the day

I'm the memory of something that you put away long ago, that I need you to get out again

I'm the unexpected nudge to go to the charity shop

I'm the coat that you'll find there

With a phone number in its pocket that you'll call.

I'm the opportunity that you will not take if you are not waiting for me.
