Better Than Ezra
"Waxing Or Waning"


You in your coat
Writing a note
"Dear Sal, I hope you'll agree..."

Then catching a bus
Just after dusk
A one way trip to the city

A cold water flat
A hot plate
A hat
The want ads are strewn on the floor
And you get so mad, when your ma and dad
Reflect when you look in the mirror

But I see you there
Nude at the top of the stairs
(But so far away)
And I recall all
Your dreams and your schemes
Moving me
The plans that we made
A street serenade

You can't be like your brother and Mike
Content just to live and get by
I hope that your fine
At 13th and 9
Waxing or waning?
Your call

But I see you there
Alight at the top of the stairs
But so far away
And I recall all your hands and your plans moving me
