Just Waiting Where The Rivers Bend (this song is for my father Anthony Inglesi)
words and music by Noreen Inglesi
INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION
VERSE 1
Sometimes our mind just cannot comprehend
Why daylight breaks then just come to an end
Sometimes we're pulled from the ones that we love
While we sit there asking why?
REFRAIN
Don't raise your hand and try to wave goodbye
Just wipe those tears and fight your sorrow
Don't waste your time being sad for me
For I'm just waiting where the rivers bend
VERSE 2
Sometimes our minds cannot comprehend
Why the tides rise while the earth's in its spin
We watch the waves make their mark in the sand
While we sit there asking "why?"
REFRAIN
Don't raise your hand and try to wave goodbye
Just wipe those tears and fight your sorrow
Don't waste your time being sad for me
For I'm just waiting where the rivers bend
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 3
Don't try to wait for the morning sun
Don't try to wait for your song to be sung
Each moment lost is like bells never rung
Don't just sit there asking "why?"
REFRAIN
Don't raise your hand and try to wave goodbye
Just wipe those tears and fight your sorrow
Don't waste your time being sad for me
For I'm just waiting where the rivers bend
REPEAT REFRAIN
in a different key
.........
Don't waste your time being sad for me
For I'm just waiting where the rivers bend
