The Waiting Song Lyrics

Lyric discussion by closer to myself 

Cover art for The Waiting Song lyrics by Ani DiFranco

I think is a song about a relationship that is failing despite all efforts. Of course it also has the political message that Ani includes in many of her songs but for me, at the core it's about sticking around and waiting out the storms of a relationship because you really care about, love, and have a tremendous amount of respect for the other person.
