The Eagles - Waiting In The Weeds
Gothic
liked this
It's comin' on the end of August//
Another summer's promise almost gone//
And though I heard some wise man say//
That every dog will have his day//
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long//
I don't know when I realized the dream was over//
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day//
You know, it didn't go down in flame//
There was no final scene, no frozen frame//
I just watched it slowly fade away//
//
And I've been waiting in the weeds//
Waiting for my time to come around again and//
Hope is floating on the breeze//
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and//
I've been keepin' to myself//
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing//
Even though you're with somebody else//
He'll never love you like I do//
I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows//
While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage//
If finding love is just a dance//
Proximity and chance//
You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade//
And I've been waiting in the weeds//
Waiting for the dust to settle down along the//
Back roads running through the fields//
Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town//
And I imagine sunlight in your hair//
You're at the county fair//
You're holding hands and laughing//
And now the ferris wheel has stopped//
You're swinging on the top//
Suspended there with him//
And he's the darling of the chic//
The flavor of the week is melting//
Down your pretty summer dress//
Baby, what a mess you're making//
I've been stumbling through some dark places//
Now I'm following the plow//
I know I've fallen out of your good graces//
It's alright now//
And I've been waiting in the weeds//
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the//
Wild birds scattering the seeds//
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune//
The phases of the moon//
The chambers of the heart//
The egg and dart of small gray//
Spiders spinning in the dark//
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart//
And I've been waiting in the weeds//
Waiting for the time to come around again and//
Hope is floating on the breeze//
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and//
I've been keeping to myself//
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing//
Even though you're with somebody else//
He'll never love you like I do//
