This song was inspired by an old friend of mine. She always seemed to be waiting for the right guy to come along and was unlucky in love with all the guys who did come along!

Waiting For Godot


Is she waiting for Godot?
Is she waiting for a man
Who'll feed her with illusions
And break her if he can?
Can someone who's a challenge
Be someone who is kind?
Or Is a liar and a cheat
The only challenge that she'll find?


Is she waiting for Godot?
Is she waiting for a man
Who'll put her on a pedestal
Where she don't want to stand?
Can someone who is kindly
Be someone who will know
The flaws which make a little
Of the sweetness seem to go?


Chorus:
So don't make her
into an angel please
Nor the projection
of your fantasies
But don't screw her up
and break her heart
Cause she's been through that before
and she don't even want to start.
She don't even want to start.


Instrumental break


Is she waiting for Godot?
Is she waiting for a man
Who'll help her find her place
Inside the Universal Plan?
Does it all come down to attitude?
Is her thinking out of line?
Does she confuse reality
With wanting the sublime?


Chorus.
