Lost my nickel in the wishing well
Worked all summer just to pay Ma Bell
The waiting is over
You fuss and fight trying to get your share
break your back getting nowhere
The waiting is over

Five feet four two feet on the ground
Better not lose out this time 'round
Said she'd meet me when the sun went down
when I told her
The waiting is over

Was a long time singing this lonesome song
Long time leaving and a long time gone
The waiting is over
I've seen heaven and I've seen hell
Which one's which lord I can't tell
The waiting is over

Five feet four...

Hear me shout it coast to coast
She's the one that I love the most
Change in the ocean change in the sea
but I know for sure
there's no change in me
I can feel her rolling in my arms
Wild west wind won't do me no harm
The waiting is over

Artist's Note

"Waiting Is Over" began when my band left me on the side of the road outside of a truck stop near Parry Sound, Ontario at about 6 A.M., in the midst of an all night drive home. It's essentially a love song.
