Song of the Week - Waiting For The Sun by The Jayhawks

I have 7,794 songs on iTunes. This is one of them.

The Jawhawks are an alt country band with a small but devoted following. This song is from their 3rd album Hollywood Town Hall released in 1992. It was their first album on a large label and it did very well. This song was a hit for them. I have this album and their followup release from 1995, Tomorrow The Green Grass. I love both of these records. They have recorded several more CDs but I've never heard them. If you like this you should seriously check out either of the two CDs I mentioned.



I was waiting for the sun
Then I walked on home alone
What I didn't know
Was he was waiting for you to fall

So I never made amends
For the sake of no one else
And for the simple reason
That he was waiting for you to fall

Chorus:
It was not lost on me
It was not lost on me
Walking on down the road
Looking for a friendly handout
Somebody ease my soul

So I kept my spirits high
Entertaining passers-by
Wrapped in my confusion
While he was waiting for you to fall

(Chorus)

It was not lost on me
It was not lost on me
Walking on down the road
Walking on down the road
Walking on down the road
Walking on down the road
