old men
has been's
waitin' for the whens
& the was
waitin' for the twas

waitin' for the wind ta' blow
waitin' for you to know
waitin'n for it ta' go
away from today
waitin' for
sumpin
' ta' say

waitin'

paintin'
pictures
in our mind
waitin' ta' find
another place
waitin'
for anotherr time
waitin' for the rhythmin'
wait for the rhyme
waitin' for the time
ta' sing it again'
waitin'
for another chance
waitin'
per chance
you cou;ld dance
one more time
waitin'
ta' rhyme
waitin'
paintin'
the pictures
in your mind
waitin' a' find
the colors
that you paint
waitin'
to be
sumpin'
more
you ain;t
you ain't no saint
you ain't no sinner
you just be you
that's the true
thats
the false
that's the waltze
that's the dance
so dance
with yourself
find you
& do what you do

is dance some more
waitin'
in line
dance a dance or 2
hell
i'd dance with you
if i could
i'd dance if i would
aw shit i would
dance a dance or 2
'cause i love you

so i'll dance
i'll prance
i'll be true
to you
if you dance with
me too
