about

Words and Music by Kathryn Pallakoff
Produced by Christopher Haynes

lyrics

Sunrise walk to the railroad station
Broken tracks to the next destination
Waiting’s not a game for the fragile at heart
It’s for those who like to gamble
And need fodder for their art.

And you don’t have to wait for me
You don’t have to wait for me

You don’t have to wait for me
I love you so I set you free
Blue-green sky and the pearl-gray sea
Tell the story of
disappearing me

I don’t have to wait for you
I don’t have to wait for you

I don’t have to wait for you
Sticky things and crazy glue
They can hold stuff down but they can’t hold you through
Dark nights of the soul
Contemplating what you’re due

We don’t have to wait for us
We don’t have to wait for us

We don’t have to wait for us
But I’m still not hopping on that crowded bus
Of jaded souls and non-believers
I’m a proud and heavy dreamer

We may not wait, but we won’t falter
I’ll meet you at the Cosmic Altar
