Waiting

For the dawn to pass me by

I’m sitting here
On the edge of the world

With no reason
No reason in my mind

I’m standing here
At the point of the break

While the dawn keeps climbing by

Another night,
Another walk alone

Working that nine to five,
With no one at home

In a previous life,
Maybe another time

I remember,
Two kids, the love of my life, and a dog

And the dawn keeps climbing by

I’m waiting here
For a god who won’t answer
With a prayer in his place
Hoping to move on
And not remember your face

I’m waiting here
On the edge of the road ahead
With my thumb at my side
Hoping to move along
And get away from here this time

But the dawn keeps climbing by….

I’m standing here
Lookin’ at the edge of the world

In a sunrise, a sunset
And the mountains in my eyes

I’m turning loose
On the evening I came apart

Through this moment
Just letting it pass me by

Hard to say
Working that nine to five
Working for few extra dimes

Putting my dreams on hold again

While the dawn keeps climbing by…

I’m waiting here
For a god who won’t answer
With a prayer in his place
Hoping to move on
And not remember your face

I’m waiting here
On the edge of the road ahead
With my thumb at my side
Hoping to move along
And get away from here this time

While the dawn keeps climbing by…

Oh, why won’t he answer?
I’ve been more than kind,
More than patient,
All of the time…

Why won’t he answer?
Just give me a sign,
I want to know where I stand,

But the sunlight…of the dawn just climbs right by…

I don;t typically write with a country tune in mind (since I'm not much of a country fan).....but whatever this happened to come out...with a country tune in mind...go figure.
