FAWM 2020 #9: Any Day Now

Originally posted as 'lyrics-only' this afternoon, but that (as hoped) silenced my inner critic enough to get a demo laid down.

Lyrics

Any day now, there'll be a brand new love song
that opens my ears to hearing again,
One filled with laughter, so that after I hear it,
my weary heart can start beating again.

Holding my breath to catch the strains of rhythm
Propelling my pulse, impelling romance.
Until its beat, insistent, compelling
Pulls my feet to a new kind of dance.

Pace the floor... listen for my door.
Watch the clock... time just drags,
until that knock.

I know good things come to those who wait,
Songs aren't delivered "second-day prime."
The knowledge won't help, when that new song is late!
Yet each song comes in its own special time.
