when it came time to wait for you i took the bus to malibu found a caf by the ocean watched the sky for signs and a rainbow in the west wrapped its coils around the earth like a serpent i felt like i was going to suffocate but i knew this was not the day you would finally come my way but i waited all the same watched the water through the window and a rainbow in the west held its head beneath the waves and grew dimmer nothing anyone could do i suppose
