\nI wrote this song a while back, and have played it a bunch live and on my BlogTV show, but never got around to recording it.<\/p>\n

Well, thanks to some prodding from my friend Julia (sjnb3) here it is on YouTube.<\/p>\n

I hope y’all enjoy it…<\/p>\n

Waiting To Understand<\/p>\n

Sunrise over the Rio de la Plata
\nBuenos Aires early morning gloom
\nWheels down…I walked on out of the airport
\nand the taxi man carried me ’round to my hotel room.<\/p>\n

Sittin’ alone in Plaza de Mayo
\nThey walked on by in scarves of white with signs
\nMothers of the Disappeared….esperandan como siempre
\npara los chicos que nunca vienen
\nthose children…never comin’ back again<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThey’re waitin’ just to understand the sadness
\nThey’re runnin’ outta…just a matter of time
\nHey now everybody’s waiting for something
\nSomething that nobody easily finds<\/p>\n

She headed on out to Boulder Colorado
\nShe said their hearts would always be as one
\nNow he calls & she don’t call back for days at a time
\nand when she does she’s always on the run<\/p>\n

He’s waiting just to understand the sadness…<\/p>\n

She took his ring, he told her that he loved her
\nHe said the years would surely treat them well
\nNow sometimes he don’t come home for days at a time
\nand when he does she tells him “Just go to Hell!”<\/p>\n

She’s waiting just to understand the sadness… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
