Текст песни
Living alone in a high little room
She can see to the street from her window
She likes it a lot, but she just can't imagine a day after day
She's waiting to open the boxes of books
And to put all the clothes where they should go
The walls may be bare, but she still
Can't decide if she's ready to stay
She wants to be open and ready for something to knock on her door
She's paying the rent, but that doesn't keep her from hoping for more
You'd say she'd just come, but that's not the case
Can it really be years since she came to this place?
Going to work on a slow-moving tram
Everyone needs to work for a living
She likes sitting here, she can plan, she can dream and be taken away
Being a writer is what she might do if
She lived in a world more forgiving
She works on a story, she works on a book or it could be a play
There's someone she knows who knows
Someone in publishing, maybe she could
She'll call when she's finished a dialogue, maybe then, maybe he would
She says she will call, but at her own pace
Can it really be years since she came to this place?
Waiting for signs and she knows there'll be signs
There'll be omens and so she's waiting
It may be tomorrow, it may be today, but it's happening soon
Out in the sunlight and under the
Streetlight and inside her room she's waiting
Watching the shift in the seasons, the wax and the wane of the moon
Watching the text on her mobile, he's asking her out for a drink
She wants to say yes, but it's never
That easy, she needs time to think
And summer is past and she still doesn't ring
Alone in her room, can it really be spring?
