I'm sitting in a waiting room
Room enough for a few people
People getting their taxes done
Done for another year.
Year after year I sit here
Here because I get my taxes done for free
Free for all who ask, but the payment is to wait
Wait in a room that's really a hallway.
Hallway filled with people unknown
Unknown except for my husband
Husband and I wait together.
Together we try to be patient.
Patient, yeah, that's what I have to do.
Do it for hours at a time
Time for the taxes to be done but there are many in front of us
Us who are waiting
Waiting
Waiting as the hours roll on.
and on.
