Indigo Girls - Everybody's Waiting lyrics

Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry She says I know my baby's out there Just couldn't bear to ask her why From my womb into the world Lord I wish the child would call You know I'm needing some company She makes my life so full Take my advice Go ahead and live your own life But everybody's waiting For someone to come home Like the fire waits for the sand This world is burning With the tension of human hands Waiting to be cleansed Waiting for their ace of spades They say I sure hope he's coming 'Cause I feel like I've just been saved Take my advice Go ahead and live while you're alive Everybody's waiting For someone to come home Come to me and cleanse my soul I'm free, I'm free Only with you am I whole Can't you see that I am me I'll be waiting by the window I'll be heading for the door I was driving down highway eighty-five, yeah Had to pull off the road Just to hear my radio coming in clearer Lord this life's so full I said Why do we ask for more While we're waiting for the man to come We forgot what he's coming for Won't take my advice Go ahead and live while you're alive Everybody's waiting For someone to come home I'll be waiting by the window Everybody's waiting For someone to come home I'll be waiting by the window Everybody's waiting For someone to come home Come home
