Wait (just a little while longer)

from FAWM Demos 2019 by Frances Smith

lyrics

There's a wind from the east tonight
and she said she needed light
didn't want the dark to chase
away his face, and she'd be brave

But he always was the one who talked
and now she really missed his voice
she said he wasn't wrong or right
just that perfect had never come her way

Chorus

And she said he'd said wait, just a little while longer
and I'll bring the answers
wrapped in sweet flowers, and without anger
I've been falling like a feather (s)he'd say
sometimes lying, sometimes drowning, sometimes flying away
and I could promise to be stronger
but he said, wait, just a little while longer

Night was drifting into day again
she said he'd said he'd tried to be a little kinder
but he lost himself like reflections in windows
he was looking in, at him looking out, at him, looking in at him

In the room she looked at me
said do you want another cup of tea
when he's gone I feel so alone I lie
awake in bed so long I think I could die


And she said he said wait
yeah she said he said wait
oh she said he said wait
just a little while longer

Bridge

Oh there's always someone who says he's bad
and truth is there's times it's been very hard
but you're just a friend for a little while
but without him I'm lonely mostly all the time

repeat chorus
