lyrics
nighttime comes, I don't know what to do
I get alone and I just think of you
I started to worry a long time ago
I started to worry about what, now I know
I was waiting, I was waiting
Sean & Chris were my best friends
all the way from that summer on to the end
taking in sights we could not believe
to roll back the tongue and choked all the cheese
we were waiting, we were waiting
for some dirty light to come through the door
nail the nylons to the floor
pop the puff let the filling poor
soon as we find where the bread is stored
we’re waiting, we’re waiting
I've been waiting on the waffle to come around, I've been waiting on the waffle to fall right down
I've been waiting on the waffle to pop right up, I've been waiting on the waffle to come
if I had some jam, I'd get me a jar
and bury it deep down in my backyard
and dream all day of that sticky sweet
at home come night waiting for me
yeah waiting, yeah waiting
to be whatever fruit I might be thinking of
a peach apple cherry banana or plum
taking it straight off the back of the truck
where I'm hanging around and pushing my luck
and waiting, waiting
I've been waiting on the waffle to come around, I've been waiting on the waffle to fall right down
I've been waiting on the waffle to pop right up, I've been waiting on the waffle to come
when I think of the chances I've had, I get lost
I stop thinking of you and start paying the cost
think back to Chris Moon leaving town
a new life headed for Texas-bound
and I'm waiting, waiting
for some dirty light to come through the door
nail the nylons to the floor
pop the puff let the filling poor
soon as we find where the bread is stored
we’re waiting, we’re waiting (repeat over and over to build)
I've been waiting on the waffle to come around, I've been waiting on the waffle to fall right down
I've been waiting on the waffle to pop right up, I've been waiting on the waffle to come

These recordings feel knowingly classic but gently break through to make their own impression. Truly well crafted/produced songs with the right blend of skilled instrumentation and expressive lyricism. Mary of Rain and Tickets and Tapes are my favorites. a leaf
