Lyrics
EMMET

The paint peels on the window sill and Emmet squints his eyes through the blinds
Someon's passing by
Could it be his wife?
A grey speck in Emmet's eye spreads like a cloud

No one's expected for tea
Emmet sinks back into his chair
There's something he ought to do
but the daily horror show from the news is on the tube
He's waiting for something... something

The house settles and groans
Janine sorts the pills for her Pa, steals a demerol
No one ever calls

Ma's off at the home
And Pa's always lost off in his cloud
Slowly drifting away

Janine sifts through her drawers
Something that she wanted to do but she waited for time
Such a good girl
Now she's waiting for something... something

24 Shady Grove
Elaine sits alone by the door with her Sunday best on
She's waiting for something

I'd forgotten Emmet.  Lovely minimal instrumentation with great lyrics.  Are you still writing?
