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
