Mornings, mornings roll around

evenings come and evenings go

nights that pass without a sound

waiting rooms are all I know

evenings come and evenings go

mouth is dry and stomach churns

waiting rooms are all I know

waiting for you to return

mouth is dry and stomach churns;

"Boy is missing, swept away."

Waiting for you to return

maybe just another day

"Boy is missing, swept away."

its hideous finality

maybe just another day

before those words make sense to me

the hideous finality,

nights that pass without a sound

before those words make sense to me,

mornings, mornings roll around.
