Lyrics

Waiting Bed
 G.Denny 2006

I?m trying hard to be objective
But time has made me more selective
Memories of your footsteps fill my mind

I?m searching for some new direction
But every steps a dull reflection
Of the times we had that have gone by

I?m laying on the waiting bed
The bed where the waiting men lie x 2

No more time for a new prognosis
No more tubes or double doses
All that?s left are shadows passing by

In distant times and distant places
The men in white with their talking faces
Helping me to understand why

I?m laying on the waiting bed
The bed where the waiting men lie x 2

I can recognise her familiar perfume
Her sweet gentle presence fills the whole room
She?s standing close but I can?t move my hands

Just one more of her sweet caresses
One last chance with no second-guesses
Just one touch of her now to say goodbye

I?m laying on the waiting bed
The bed where the waiting men lie x 2

They?re crowding around I guess the time is close now
I open my eyes and I cant tell you how
He?s standing in the shadows, shining bright

With my final breath He gently calls me
He takes my hand and sets my soul free
I?m looking back at those I?ve left behind

Those I?ve left behind

Cause I was laying on the waiting bed
The bed where the waiting men die

Laying on the waiting bed
The bed where the waiting men die
