The wanderer is waiting
while rain falls
he is waiting
always waiting
the rain pours in lashes
as he waits
always waiting
he stands in the cold street
his eyes lazily moving
under the darkened hood
waiting
always waiting
the harsh wind blows
but still he waits
always waiting for
the one he loves
the wind blows harder
but the man stays
never leaving
for he must see
his love again

He longs to see her
her short blonde hair
that dances in the breeze
and her brown eyes
that twinkle like diamonds
he watches her brush her hair
in her golden lit room
from the cold street
this girl doesn't evevn know
that he exists at all
but he waits for her anyway
he wants to confess
his true emotions for her
he promised that
"Today is the day
regardless the weather"

He waits
always waiting
day after day
he waits
waits
waits
always
waiting

The rain turns to hail
the ice cracks and breaks on his back
but still he waits
always waiting
he does not realize
his own ignorance
for the storm is rising
the rains and winds surge
the hail makes him bleed
but still he waits
always waiting
the winds turn up violently
debris is blown around
trees are flailing under their
feeble roots
the storm is terrbile
his hood flapped behind him
he saw a metal rod
out of the corner of his eye
screaming towards him
he tried to move but it was too late
it hit him hard in the temple
he fell
and bled
on the steps

The scarlet cape
wrapped around him
then he knew no more
they found him
the next day
his dead body crumpled
in a mass of newspaper
he bled to death
in an ally where he flew
during that storm
he died
waiting
waiting for his love
always
waiting
