Mark Lind

Hanging on the corner by the Main Street laundromat
Frankies out of prison and he swears hes never going back
Two nights later hes a murderer.
They caught him down the projects hiding at his girls
Hey there, Frankie. Is this all youve ever known to be?
Davey was a smart kid raised on hate and fear
A highschool dropout, he aint going anywhere
I aint see Davey in a lot of days
Last I heard he got put away
Hey Davey. Davey, when you coming back home to me?
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
Seamus made an effort to get out and beat his name
He found himself a girl and he went West free of shame
The town aint gonna let him get away
The last I heard he passed away
Seamus, I remember when you used to make us laugh
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
I think you really ought to know right now
You all had a small impact on me
I think you really ought to know
if it werent for you then I wouldnt be me
Nathan was a good kid that couldnt seem to find a way
Id see him from time to time and hed smile to disguise the pain
One March night he went and took his life
When Julian told me he had tears in his eyes
Hey Nathan. Dont you know your friends all miss your face?
God help me cause when I look around
I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days
