This song just came to me this morning (2/19/05). I have some music for it in my head, but I'm not sure it's original since I was listening to some current music on Yahoo. The lyrics are mine, however -- even if I haven't a clue where within me they come from. Only the tone may have been inspired by the songs I heard.

Waiting


Chorus:          I have no words to say just how I feel
                    I have not found yet what is real
                    and I am always waiting
                    waiting
                    waiting
                    time keeps on passing by
                    and I keep living in this lie
                    'cause I am always waiting
                    waiting
                    waiting

                    On the job I do quite well
                    and no one there could ever tell
                    that the woman that I am
                    is really nothing but a sham
                    a shell of something still unborn
                    despite the fact that I am worn
                    life they see in me
                    is life I'm imitating

                    Chorus

                    I left the house this afternoon
                    thought that I would be home soon
                    but minutes flowed into the hours
                    and though my taste for shopping sours
                    I keep on walking through the mall
                    until I feel as if I'll fall
                    and I am waiting
                    while life I'm imitating

                    Chorus

                    When I'm sitting home all alone
                    is then I start to come undone
                    I see the dream that I once dreamed
                    and that is when I start to scream
                    within my head, but not aloud
                    won't let them hear 'cause I'm too proud
                    again I'm waiting
                    a life I'm imitating

                    Chorus

                    I lie here frightened in my bed
                    begin to wonder if I am dead
                    I never really felt alive
                    and all the dreams and hopes that I've
                    had have fallen prey into the hands
                    an ordinary life demands
                    there is no life in me
                    I'm only imitating

                    I have no words to say just how I feel
                    I have not found yet what is real
                    and I am always waiting
                    waiting
                    waiting
                    time keeps on passing by
                    and I keep living in this lie
                    'cause I am always waiting
                    waiting
                    waiting
                    'cause I am always waiting
                    waiting
                    waiting
