Life is waiting for the pain

She glistens in the sunshine
she's to be someone else's wife
I'm not invited to the wedding
someone's sure to throw a knife

     Life is waiting for the pain
     and you wonder why you came
     everyday is just the same
     life is waiting for the pain

At the old railway station
a witch woman reads your fortune
deserts, things you learn on planes
stare at the hills in the sun

       refr.

Wash and change before you go
but just then her brothers find you
you hear a song from way back when
while you wonder what they'll do

      refr.


1989. Door Ludo Mariman vaak gebracht in zijn duo-sets met Gert Van Rompaey
