lyrics

Patiently Waiting for You Words and Music by Robert E. Ellis © 2009

I don’t care if the sun don’t shine

If the taxman comes and he robs me blind

I don’t like mean people I’ve met

Reality shows or the national debt

I can’t stand that Dr. Phil

And the crap he sells and other swill

People are numbed by a TV screen

A cathode ray is stealing their dreams

Chorus

I’m just here waiting for you

Patiently waiting for you

To take me from this dreary life

And lead me to the another side

Where I can catch a fresh breath or two


I don’t care if my 401 tanks

Or if we ever rescue another bank

I don’t like where this country has gone

Leaving the little man stepped upon

Hard work rewarded with unemployment lines

Killing each man just one at a time

It was greed that started this great big mess

And dragged us all into the deep abyss

Chorus

I don’t care for myopic news

That’s got us all singing the blues

The Earth heats up and the markets crash

And we’re all going down in a heap of trash

Filling our minds with depressing views

Got us all thinking we can only loose

Chorus

I don’t care if my hair falls out

My joints all ache and I’m growing stout

I don’t like this old wrinkled skin

But it’s what I’m forced to be living in

My mind’s still strong and my will’s still bent

On searching for something that’s heaven sent



Final Chorus:

That's why I’m waiting for you

Patiently waiting for you

I am just waiting here for you

To take to me another life

So I can just go spend it with you

Rob Ellis South Portland, Maine

From his first terrifying solo singing performance in 1967, at the tender age of 9, Rob has been belting out songs across all musical genres. His love of music started as a child crowded around the piano in his Grandparents' tiny NYC apartment. His songs are honest and heartfelt and Rob’s tenor voice lets loose to the accompaniment of angelic backup singers and a host of incredible musicians ... more
