Alone, Waiting for Messiah in Saint Mark's Cathedral

 

God, i'm old!
    some say time's sacred.
    me, i'm profane.

waiting . . . . 

sit, sat, sit, LOOK! look away? oh . . . .

"Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright."
Your birthday's today.
You must be here!
    i can wait here for You, can't i? ok?

God, i'm old!
    some say time's precise.
    me, i'm random.

waiting . . . . 

sit, sat, sit, LISTEN! hear me? oh . . . .

"Joy to the world the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King."
Your people are here.
You must be here!
    i'll sit here and wait, ok? You will stop by for a chat?

God, i'm old!
    some say time's everlasting.
    me, i'm limited.

waiting . . . . 

talk, walk, aisle, SMILE! at me? oh . . . .

"Christ was born for this.
Christ was born for this."

God, i'm old!

                 waiting . . . . 

                                    still 

                                                   alone
