Waiting

well I don't suppose that any of my raving ever did any good

and I'm learning now a quiet answer turns the wrath away

like you said it would

and finally I'm out of the red and into the blue

waiting here until they clear the road ahead

so I can move on through

across the delta plains it was freezing rain

east and west all four lanes were down

so I got out and walked a little while

up between the cars about a quarter mile

and took a look around

there were families and refugees wondering too

waiting here until they clear the road ahead

so I can move on through

day fell to night until the world renown

thousand thoughts came tumbling down again

how it seems to be now it's all a blur

what we know and who we were back then

we were vagabonds and all those gypsy songs we knew

waiting here until they clear the road ahead

so I can move on through
