Countries
Laurie Shaw
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting around for you to arrive again
Standing under the tangled branches of despair
I see someone
She’s got your hair but none of your definition
Put me in a tough position
Past the park
Past the woods
Past the river
Past the mountains
Past the countries
Where are we?
Past the countries
Where are we?
What are countries?
Where are we?
Just in the ocean, all at sea
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting around for you to arrive again
For your perfume to strangle me to the floor again
Spend an afternoon chasing your lips and hands
It’s worth the weight of the ocean and its depth
Past the park
Past the woods
Past the river
Past the mountains
Past the countries
Past the countries
Where are we?
Where are we? Where are we? Where are we?
