    LYRICS:
    Waiting on you, waiting on you
    Is about all I do
    Another night, another day
    I'm waiting on you
    And I don't know why, I...
    Keep waiting on you
    Make up your mind, make up your mind
    Why don't you
    It'd be kind, it'd be kinder
    You know it's true
    And I don't know why, I...
    Keep waiting on you
    Yes or no, yes or no
    What's it gonna be
    I can't live on dreams and maybe
    And I don't know why, I...
    Keep waiting on you
    One of these days I'm gonna go away from this
    Without a why, without a cry, without a kiss
    Then you'll know what it is with this deal
    Then you'll feel what it is that I feel
    And even if you don't
    At least I won't
    Be waiting on you...

    Perfect song for me helped me say good bye to a an unhealthy relationship I was holding on to..because I was lonely, he was the one who lost. oh well things happen for a reason and now I have met someone who loves me unconditionally...and I am so happy.

      Just another whine ass song about some douche who sits around with his thumb up his ass waiting on someone who obviously doesn't give even a little bit of a shit. DELETED

    Greg's greatest song is "Canned Goods." Look it up, it's a masterpiece.

    Where was this taken from? I'm listening to it side-by-side with my copy of the Covenant cd and they're different. I think this one is better. The one from the cd does not have the great organ and the line "I can't live on dreams and maybe" is "I can't live on dreams and fantasy."

    • @bradpdx2
      @bradpdx2 Před 7 lety +2

      I found the same discrepancy. Not sure where this one comes from, sounds like an alternate take.

    • @ThriveMovement
      @ThriveMovement Před 4 lety +2

      There are actually two versions of the Covenant album. I don't recall the exact reason why, but the first version was pulled after it had already gone to press. (It might have been because Greg changed his mind about the versions of some of the tracks that he chose.) Anyway, Greg decided to make the copies that had already been pressed to remain available and when the album was released, Red House records had both versions for sale until the first version sold out its limited number of copies. There is a different (preferable, IMO) version of Rexroth's daughter on the first pressing as well. And probably some other differences that I don't remember also.

    Why the picture of Stefania Bagatell? Does it have anything to do with Greg Brown?

    Yep the female is eager... As sure as the male is too. It's not about her. It's a males need to close the gap. And if the gap can't be closed. It's wishful thinking. And time to depart. To start again... No time for games. But perhaps suggestion down the road.
