Waiting At the Window

about this song

Written by Leighton Christopher Smith, "Waiting at the Window" is a haunting song about the loss of a close friend. The song is performed simply, with only two instruments---a mandolin provides the movement and a Rickenbacker strikes single mournful chords. In the narrative of Firstnighter, this song occurs at the point where the Firstnighter returns after from a day in America, and underscores his sense of loneliness and separation..
