WAITING IN THE WINGS

Been writing you a love song

Been doing it for years,

A song about my feelings that would

Move you right to tears…

But when I found the courage

And my fingers hit the keys

The only words that I could find…

The only words were these…

CHORUS

Waiting in the wings

I’ve been waiting in the wings

Years and years of waiting

While you did other things

I never wanted anything

I never hoped for more

‘Cos you belonged to someone else

But that was all before

Well things are different baby

And your first love let you down

You lean on me and need me now

And things have turned around

Your life was safe and so secure

Twenty years of steady

But then the whole thing blew apart

And you, my love weren’t ready

CHORUS

Waiting in the wings

I’ve been waiting in the wings

Years and years of waiting

While you did other things

I never wanted anything

I never hoped for more

‘Cos you belonged to someone else

But that was all before

Now you know just how it feels

To live with things unstable

Your life has no direction…

Your cards blown off the table

Things can change so instantly…

The blinking of an eyelid

You face the things that you did

And I face the things that I did

She’s gone now babe – she’s left you

It’s both her fault and yours

And I was ready, waiting…

You the boat and me the oars

CHORUS

You’re waiting in the wings

Yeah you’re waiting in the wings

Now you can do the waiting

While I do other things

It’s now that I want everything

I won’t put up with less

You once belonged to someone else

And now your life’s a mess.

Waiting in the wings

We’re always waiting in the wings

We all belong to someone else

We all want other things

The love song’s just been written

It needed to be done

I won’t be in the wings no more

My waiting time is done.
