He sits on the table,
The man shakes his hand, and says,
"You're in good hands today."
And she's quiet with fingers crossed
Counting the sleep she's lost.
She thinks this could be the last time,
And she's waiting.
So soft and easily they cut an opening
Tearing the bad things right out.
They are watch dogs
Barking at black spots
Moving quiet in the night
While he's waiting.
Fluorescent lights fell on the faces.
In the waiting room devoid of patience.
And you left your daughters all three
Full of desires.
And there is only so much I can do.
There was only so much we could do.
She speaks of gabardine,
And I am inheriting
All these greens and blues.
Will she visit me
When I'm fast asleep?
Will she speak at all?
When I'm waiting?
