lyrics
I stood by the compound wall, rain on my shirt Your slippers by the doorway, red mud on the dirt I could have crossed that threshold, dry under the roof But I stayed by the mango tree, waiting for your proof Mama’s pot was steaming, the whole yard smelled of stew Your lamp burned in the window, but I waited for you One step, then another, my shoes full of rain I did not want to enter till you called my name Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you The watch on the wall said nine, the radio said rain Your brother shut the gate tight, but I stayed in the lane A plastic chair was empty, tipped against the wall I heard your laugh inside, and I let the drops fall Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you If I went in first, I’d leave my pride in the hall So I held to the wet step and listened to it all When your hand touched the latch, I was there by the ground Still waiting in the rain, when you finally came out Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you Wait outside for you
