Wills mark still waiting lyrics

(Harley Allen)

 

 He should have been out playin'

 But he sat on his front step

 All day he's just been there waiting

 And nobody's showed up yet

 His dad said he'd come get him

 Bright and early Sunday morn

 But his mom knows he's forgotten

 Like he has since he was born, but. . .

 

 He's still waiting, he's still waiting

 He might be around the corner

 Or just right down the street

 He's still waiting, he's still waiting

 He tells his mom, " don't worry,

 this time he'll come get me"

 He's still waiting

 

 Group home in Kentucky

 She's been there for a while

 They tell her that she's lucky

 She's such a pretty child

 Somebody's gonna take you

 And raise you as their own

 She never knew her parents

 And she's never had a home, but . . .

 

 She's still waiting, she's still waiting

 They might be around the corner

 Or just right down the street

 She's still waiting, she's still waiting

 She tells 'em, "I don't worry,

 someone will come for me"

 She's still waiting

 

 They're children of the needle

 The bottle and the poor

 The sum of broken people

 Who can't go on no more

 Sad eyes and dirty faces

 City streets and dirt roads

 Their lives are slowly wasting

 While everybody knows

 

 They're still waiting, they're still waiting

 All the little faces different races

 Who don't know what love is

 They're still waiting, they're still waiting

 All the sones and daughters of missing fathers

 Who never miss their kids

 They're still waiting, they're still waiting, they're still waiting
