Lyrics:
(Just waiting for a Godsend…)
We’ve been running from the shadow of a nightmare
Through the dead fields being whispered in our ears
And the words like cockle burrs deeply embedded
In our paws remind us how we got here
So we stand beside the line to see the westing
Of the coal cars painted by evangelists
Will their vivid colors hint at something coming
Just to leave us waiting to be led?
God I’m Tired of
Waiting for a Godsend
Cause I know I need some help
But I am burning at both ends
Just waiting for a godsend
And I know I need some help
I need some help
I need something
So to cope we bought some snake oil from the salesman
30 pieces for a dose of confidence
Just to climb the slope and strike our shiny poses
Fuck, I’m so ashamed that we bought in
Now we’re looking for a savior in the choir
Still waiting for the crowd to tell us when
To cut the line and put behind the triggers and the plights
And all the hindsights, I won’t forget
All this time spent fixing fence
And tying up loose ends
Then cussing out with cotton mouth
What you won’t come and take away from me
God I’m Tired of
Just waiting for a Godsend
And I know I need some help
But I am burning at the ends
Waiting for a godsend
All my trust has rusted shut
I’m stuck inside a bitter ending
Waiting for a godsend
I’ve looked into every nostrum
All they’ve ever done is kept me
Waiting for a Godsend
But I know I need some help
I need some help
I need something

Over and over RUclips kept throwing this on my homescreen. I've listened the the same music for a decade with very little change.
I decided to give it a chance. I enjoyed this song very much and I felt it hit me in a time in my life when I needed to hear it. Iron and Wine with a bit more soul. Going to dive a bit deeper but i suspect you have a new fan.

So excited for this deep dive... please report back 🫡
