Nobody is Waiting

about

from the album Rattlesnake Wasteland

lyrics

Slipping backwards into life
Smashed against forgotten places
Try to catch a friendly eye
Finding only scornful faces
From the town of Tombstone
I ride the rails to who knows where
Next stop could be my hometown
Nobody is waiting for me there

Here is the garden where i used to grow
And the room where I used to sleep
I wonder what ever became of
The treasures that I used to keep
How many doors must I open
To find the dark at the top of the stairs
I hear the laughter n the play room
Nobody Waiting for me there

After they put me in my grave
I lost my way between heaven and hell
Seeing the wonders Swedenberg saw
On that celestial carousel
I stand now outside Peters gate
My breath is cold, my head is bare
You need an invitation to get inside, Peter says
And nobody is waiting for you in there
