lyrics

Not There Yet

Here I sit preparing
for the chance to rescue you.
Waiting for your helplessness;
but don’t call me, ‘cause I’m not there yet.

Not yet powerful,
not yet fair enough.

On a Sunday night one week ago
we talked about life and death
and all of that heavy stuff.
You said something like you might need me.
Christ, I thought, I’m just not ready yet.
There’s still so much to do.
Still so much I ought to do,
and I ought to settle down, but I’m not there yet.

Here I sit preparing
for the chance to rescue you.
Waiting for my helpfulness.
I’ll get there, but I’m not there yet.

Building up and rising through,
taking off to rescue you.

about

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since ... more 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon less
