Waiting to Understand (Original Song)

I wrote this song a while back, and have played it a bunch live and on my BlogTV show, but never got around to recording it.

Well, thanks to some prodding from my friend Julia (sjnb3) here it is on YouTube.

I hope y'all enjoy it...



Lyrics:

Sunrise over the Rio de la Plata
Buenos Aires early morning gloom
Wheels down...I walked on out of the airport
and the taxi man carried me 'round to my hotel room.

Sittin' alone in Plaza de Mayo
They walked on by in scarves of white with signs
Mothers of the Disappeared....esperandan como siempre
para los chicos que nunca vienen
those children...never comin' back again

Chorus
They're waitin' just to understand the sadness
They're runnin' outta...just a matter of time
Hey now everybody's waiting for something
Something that nobody easily finds

She headed on out to Boulder Colorado
She said their hearts would always be as one
Now he calls & she don't call back for days at a time
and when she does she's always on the run

He's waiting just to understand the sadness...

She took his ring, he told her that he loved her
He said the years would surely treat them well
Now sometimes he don't come home for days at a time
and when he does she tells him "Just go to Hell!"

She's waiting just to understand the sadness...
