Mother's waiting in the kitchen

The elephant's waiting in the zoo

The teacher's waiting in the classroom

And I am waiting here for you



And the audience is waiting

for the show that won't begin

The artist's waiting at the backdoor

because nobody let him in



Why did she go?

She said there's no tomorrow

How did she know?

Did anybody tell her?

I can't explain

I'm sitting in the corner

Staring at the wall

And she won't be back again



Louise was waiting for a lover

First he paid and then he came

Now she's cooking for a baby

The client wasn't seen again



Why did she go...



It's time you started

to think seriously about

Your future and your dreaming

She said and didn't leave no room for doubt

That if I took her meaning

There was no longer dreaming

It's just a perfect screaming



Why did she go...



She's back again
