Waiting For the Moving Van

Standing on the front porch

Of the old frame house in town

In another day or two

It all starts coming down

I wonder what they'll do

About the oak tree with the swing

I never built the tree house

But i had plans for so many things

I am trying not to think of while i can

Waiting for the moving van to come

The front door has that noisy hinge

I never did repair

You used to hear it late at night

And meet me on the stair

Well, i work in the daylight now;

I'm always home by six

Now, there's lots of time

And nothing left to fix

Except the things I am trying

Not to think of while i can

Waiting for the moving van to come

It's almost summer here

Your favourite time of year

Hey, didn't we love to hear

The children play

We had some happy times

Ten years is so much time

You'd think we could both

Find a way

No, i won't get maudlin

It's just being here alone

It took some getting used to

But i like it on my own

I just wish they'd get here soon

I have so much work to do

Plans to make and a whole new life

To think about, but you

I am trying not to think about while i can

Waiting for the moving van to come
