Waiting For Your Coin To Drop

from Songs For A Fragile Planet by Martin John Milner

/

lyrics

Waking as the plane comes down,
Another land, another town,
Human beings everywhere,
Where I am I just don’t care

But what spirits are abroad tonight,
A comic turn, a tragedy
Some great historic plot or fight,
A romance that just isn’t right

The moon’s the moon, the stars will shine,
The tide will turn and turn again
Look near look far look all around,
And listen for a magic sound

I’m waiting for your coin to drop,
I’m waiting for the Weaver’s spell
How will I know your true true face?
A touch, a sight, a sound – a smell?

Out here in the mystery,
I know that you are seeking me
For I could be your journey’s end,
Your resting place, your destiny

But I could be just another stop,
A temporary sanctuary
On the road to who knows where,
How can we know, what should we care?

I’m waiting for your coin to drop,
Waiting for the Weaver’s spell
How will I tell your true true face?
A touch, a sight, a sound – a smell?
I’m waiting…

Waking as the sun goes down,
I get up and go out to town
Where the people laugh and talk,
That is where I want to walk

I listen to the conversations,
All of life is here tonight
Individuals make a nation,
You can laugh and you can fight

I’m waiting for your coin to drop,
Waiting for the Weaver’s spell
How will I tell your true true face?
A touch, a sight, a sound – a smell?
I’m waiting…
