Waiting for Godot, a song

This is a song about waiting for something that just never seems to arrive. The title comes from Samuel Beckett's famous existential play with the same name.  It sounded far more poignant and rainy-day-jazz in my head than it does in the final mix, but that's what it's like, I guess, when you're waiting for Godot-- the stuff in your heart never really seems to come along the way you think it should.



O Godot, Godot, where did you go?
And when you coming back?
Cause a pocketful of promises
Can’t make up for what I lack
I keep waiting on the corner
But you just don’t show
And it gets so lonely sometimes
Waiting for Godot

O Godot, Godot, I just wanna know
How long’s it gonna take
I’ve been hanging around for a while now
And my fingers are starting to ache
I don’t know if I can keep holding on
But I’m afraid to let go
It just gets lonely sometimes when you’re
Waiting for Godot

O Godot, I know, it’s not apropos
But it never hurts to ask
If you could find the lost boy
Behind the looking glass
He went out one day to look for you
But that was long ago
And he’s still out there somewhere still
Waiting for Godot
