lyrics

Waiting For a Sign

I... I formed a line, inside his head, behind his mind
Waiting for the hidden truth about his youth,
About everything that’s left for us to find
While we wait, while we’re waiting for a…

Waiting, waiting, wasting time waiting for a sign.

He, he tied the noose, that poor recluse,
Just to get away from his past
Not form a truce 'cause what’s the use
When the past is dead and gone
So now he’ll wait, for a saving grace
Yeah he’s waiting for a…

Waiting, waiting, wasting time waiting for a sign.

All he ever wanted was simply a little piece of mind.
But he got more than he bargained for,
A wasting of his precious time…
Away, waste away…

He said, “They’re keeping me down. Yeah, they keep keeping me down. And I don’t have the strength.”
Time took the wind from his sail; prevent to prevail. There are no winners in this game, when the rules are to shame
Oneself again and again, until there’s no love left.

He said, “I’m done wasting my time, waiting for signs… that don’t come around anymore.” Then Elijah walked through that door, but it was too late… the recluse couldn’t wait.

He said, “I lost the balance and found the challenge… in my mind. So I ran to the back door, hoping to avoid once more… all the pain I seem to find.”

Randi Russo Los Angeles, California

Already known for her “honest, provocative lyrics” (The Big Takeover) and her upside-down guitar-playing which is “sweet when it needs to be but nasty in all the right places” (The Village Voice), Randi Russo continues to create songs with equal parts toughness & tenderness. While she often draws comparisons to PJ Harvey, Lou Reed & Patti Smith, Randi definitely has a voice of her own. ... more
