Somebody's waiting for me There's an answer that I have been chasing Always a change in my hometown to see I'm running so fast Who am I racing? There's always something to do But it don't fill the holes that it promises to Now everything starts to move on its own Carrying me too far away Somebody's calling my phone Begging for me to come home Every town has the same broken bones And loneliness Does there have to be silence To hear the truth? I don't know that I'll find it But I may know where to look I am awake in the dark Alone at the kitchen table Taking the time to feel time passing by Perfectly still Perfectly here Now everything starts to move As if by some common magic Shadows and sparrows and the very sky Moving my heart Standing me up Someone is waiting for me Somewhere apart from the part I can see He never visits except in my dreams Just out of reach Gone but still close
