Yet I sat with my face to the wall and waited
Love also passed me by
Love for which I was not fated
For you cannot do what you do not try
And I still sat with my face to the wall and waited
Youth too quickly rolled on past
While others conversed and congregated
Removed from it all from the first and last
I sat with my face to the wall and waited
When all had all gone by and my sun had set
And my life passed so sadly uncelebrated
I looked at that wall and sighed with regret
I missed it all while I hesitated
While I sat with my face to the wall and waited…
