Substeady Lingering

(hummmmm) a hand went up across the water

one wave, then still

a week of light has come and gone

and the bank has not moved an inch

tell us what you're building

tell us what you're building (building...

building...)

seems like years

since I e-met you still nothing but the

wave

a greeting left there on the step still warm,

still empty-handed

sometimes a hand raised is the whole message

and the rest was never coming

you can wait at the water as long as you like

the water was never going to answer for someone else

tell us what you're building

tell us what you're building still asking still asking (still asking...)

seems like years since I e-met you...

still,

still... (still...)
