Waiting Lyrics by Wes Collins

One Layer Down

2013

This patch I been tilling, ain't nothing'll grow
You tell me what I'm doing wrong and then we'll both know
I got nothing left to give up to this land
My hands on this post and my head on my hands
Seems like the good done wicked out of this ground
The centipedes still like me, they stuck around
Livvie told me I ought to rotate them beans
Try putting some okra or corn in between
I let that fall by the last planting or two
But I done everything else she ever asked me to do
Busting my knuckles up year after year
Starting to come to me, why I’m still here
See, I'm waiting
Waiting to see
It’s on the horizon
Coming to get me
I couldn't tell you
Can't make it come clear
But something's gonna happen
And I aim to be here
Last time I had any company it was half of the town
Drank some coffee, sang some hymns and put Livvie in the ground
Sharpened up my tools and took it out on the dirt
I ground myself down and I liked how it hurt
I don't have many days piled up in front of me
I reckon I'll tick 'em off just like I please
Starting to think I’m gonna run out of time
My body is trying to fold up but I'm
Gonna make it
Never you fear
Who am I talking to?
There's no one but me here
The thing about waiting
And paying attention and living to suffer is
I get the feeling
It's just about
Over
And I’m waiting
