Indigo Girls Miscellaneous Everybodys Waiting "Everybody's Waiting" is an Amy Ray song that originally appeared as the B-side of the 1985 "Crazy Game" single. (some people think it's the A-side, because it's printed first on the lyric sheet on the sleeve, but if you check the labels and matrix numbers on the vinyl itself, "Crazy Game" is definitely the A-side.) By the way, the same exact studio version appears on "Blue Food." I personally think that this may just be Amy's blackest song ever... In this song, Amy sings the main vocal part, and Emily sings the role of the mother, indicated here by indentation and quotes. Everybody's Waiting (For Someone to Come Home). Through the wind and the rain I hear my mother's cry She says: "I know my baby's out there I 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 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 85, 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 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... To come home. |
