Everything Waits To Be Noticed

Art Garfunkel · Other Songs - Art Garfunkel

Everything waits to be noticed

A tree falls with no one there

The full potential of a love affair

Everything waits to be noticed



Twenty-eight geese in sudden flight

The last star on the edge of the night

A single button come undone

The middle child, the prodigal son

Everything waits to be noticed

A trickle underneath a dam

The missing line from the telegram

Everything waits to be noticed



The whispering pains that say you're living

The slow burn of not forgiving

The quiet room, the unlikely pair

The full potential of a love affair



Everything waits to be noticed



Longing for braver days

Cautiously turning a phrase

Going unnoticed



But everything waits to be noticed

The changing light in the upper air

The full potential of a love affair

Everything waits to be noticed.
