Song # 9: Isadora & The Never Ending Wait

Song #9 in the alphabet of songs series... A little 2 chord rock song... This might be the most rock that my voice has ever sounded... and the simplest song I have ever written.

This is a sad song with a sad ending... Sometimes things don't work out. Sometimes it is hard to understand why... I think about this when I see bad car accidents... what about the people waiting for them to come home.

I sort of wrote this song thinking about the way my friend Thomas Boles would write a song... and luckily for me... he is visiting me from CA and I went down in my basement and told him I need him to do a little rock and roll backing vox... and he did... I think it helps to make the song.

Isadora & The Never Ending Wait

Isadora... Just can't ignore what's going on.
Cigarettes... smoked the whole day long
Fretting... over what might be going wrong
Fretting... His guitar and played that song...
That he taught her, played it the whole night long

CHORUS:
Nothing turned into something.
And as quick as it began, it was over once again
No one turned into someone
And just as it began, it was over once again

Isadora... broken up and on the floor
Closed... all the windows... all the doors.
Wood... stained with ashes and tears
Would... you believe she waited all these years
and like a bad sitcom, it replays all night long

Isadora... curses, fist clenched in the air
Accident... on I-95
Never... ending wait to see him again
Never... Did she think it'd end this way
Alone in her bed all night long
