I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME

     I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME
  This is the opening song on MORE LIKE A RIVER
It plays once in the background


I've waited a long time
Sitting at the edge of the road
In the grass I have seen insects
Climb up a stalk and climb back down

White daisies have opened in hot sunshine
And closed into buds in the rain
Gates have swung open
Catches have caught and loosened again

I've waited a long time
The sounds in the air aren't of you
I've waited a long time
A small piece of gravel has entered my shoe
