Nana… (waiting on the shore…)

 

Hey, sorry I’m late.

Have you been waiting long?

I had trouble getting here,

but you know that same old song.

 

She grins.

I talk.

She smiles.

then silence for awhile we watch the light play in the tide

in one thing I am sure, I know she won’t be bored. Her heart soars as the waves collide

 

Nana… she’s waiting on the shore

Dancing on the water’s edge

Who could ask for more?

 

The sun’s about to set, soon I’ll have to go

some of my plans haven’t worked out, but that, I’m sure you know

I try to say I’m sorry ‘bout the red Ferrari and she just points to sky

Like a child that wants to play, turns and walks away

back to the waters edge.

 

Nana… she’s waiting on the shore

Dancing on the water’s edge

Who could ask for more?

 

Well now I have to go, thank you for the sun.

Expressionless goes her face.

As if she’s figured out we’re done.

 

I’ll see you when I get the chance next time I think I’ll stay.

Nana’s gone to dance now her thoughts sweep me away.

Now I drift like sand in the surf I hope I’m heading home…

 

Nana… is waiting on the shore

 

Hey, sorry I’m late.

Have you been waiting long?

   Have you been waiting long?

       Have you been waiting long…
