Waiting For Susan

Ani DiFranco


Susan is a connotation 
At less than arms length 
She has the strength of an opinion 
Her promises are like the night overcast 
Like the stars she doesn\'t show 
And when she does, she doesn\'t last 
You can see her goodness 
Like her breath on a window pane 
And then she turns her head 
And it is gone again 

And while I\'m left waiting 
She\'ll wax and she\'ll wane 
And maybe she\'ll come here again 
And Susan was at the other end of the line 
And she received me just in time 
And I lean to her like a preference of mine 
Like a reference to friendship 
She defined my time 

Now I\'m waiting for Susan 
I don\'t know where I am in line 
I\'m waiting for Susan 
I wonder where I am in line
