Waiting

You called to say you had a car crash yesterday

now you call to say you had a train crash today

and no cash

so what are you doing out there in the world

while l’m waiting

You said you only drive down south, to Spain

to pick up some news and bring the old van

then come back very quick

so what are you doing out there in the world

while l’m waiting

7, 7, 7, let’s dive down to heaven

one by one by one

it only began … waiting

Just came back to my mountain home

all the rooms are filled with your smell

oh well, oh well

but what are you doing in that world

while I’m waiting

Still remember your face at the window

eyes behind glass and glasses

heard a voice saying:

hello, hello, like a long-distance call

Maybe this time I do it right

by waiting

never felt like this before

being with you

is more, more, more waiting

When we met a few weeks ago

I hadn’t planned to meet anyone

but wild bells ring fairly fast

oh dear, no fear

you know l’m waiting

I heard short people aren’t risking much

l liked to watch

the dirty dishes you touched

you even kissed my red lips blue

so what are you doing for you

and me and me and you

while l’m waiting

7, 7, 7, let’s dive down to heaven

one by one by one

it only began … more waiting

You know, I was pretty fine on my own

loneliness teaches comfort in melancholy

but your warm answers to my silly questions

were moving me out of my world

Never felt like this before

being with you is more, more

more, more waiting
