lyrics

A Gentle State of Waiting
© 2013 Grant Maloy Smith

The fields are waving honey
And the sun is hanging high
Our feet are tired from running
And so we lie
so we lie / so we lie / so we lie

You're full of expectations
some are great and some are small
Sometimes you cry out of frustration
about it all
But you're pushing hard
much too hard

There's a gentle state of waiting
When you're in between the lines
And impatience drives you wild
There's a gentle state of waiting
And a gentle state of mind

You were stranded like a sailor
You were only seventeen
(Just a baby)
You alone could be your jailer
Your pocket holds the key
Still you're crying out
crying out for me

The waves are full of trying
And the moon is holding fast
Your eyes / your eyes are done with crying
You're free at last
free at last / free at last / free at last

There's a gentle state of waiting
When you're in between the lines
And impatience drives you wild
There's a gentle state of waiting
And a gentle state of mind

You alone hold the key

The fields are waving honey
And the moon is hanging high
Your heart beats fast
to make this moment last
You can free yourself /
You can free yourself tonight

There's a gentle state of waiting
When you're in between the lines
And impatience drives you wild
There's a gentle state of waiting
And a gentle state of mind
