Abigail Barlow - Waiting For A Rainbow Ballad Of Wasted Time Lyrics

[SPOKEN]
January 2, 2021
The day I almost…stopped chasing the music

I was sitting at my piano plunking chords that sounded like shit
And pissed at the world like it was toxic ex-boyfriend thinking…
If the world wanted to make me a star
And I was good enough to be one it would’ve by now

[SUNG]
Is this what dreams are made of?
Full-on hit parades of
Doubt from every angle
Drunken tears that fuck up all my makeup
Someone send an angel-
I’m praying to a god that I don’t know the name of

Fingers at the keys
Adding to the noise
Am I just a scream?
Shouting in the void?

Are there more than enough pop songs in the world
For teenage girls about stupid boys?

Is this the pain of waiting for a rainbow?
And is there gold if you follow where it came from?
I’ll search the sky for a silver line
I’ll never find, but…
I’ll write the ballad of wasted time
Waiting on a rainbow
That’ll never be mine
Waiting till the day I die

[SPOKEN: Cambria, Abigail]
Ugh you’re so dramatic! how long has it been?
Four months
Okay well you’ve never been blocked that long…
Maybe it’s a sign that I should give up. I have no money
I have money
I don’t want your money
*sigh*
Well, Interscope’s looking for receptionists
Oh, hell no you’re not doing that
Cambria! I have no choice. The well is dry
Why don’t you try stepping out of your comfort zone for a bit? Go write another musical with Emily! *gasp* Have you seen what they’re doing with ratatouille on tik tok? You could do that!
I know, and I’ve been trying to find good source material for months and nothing is coming and I SUCK
You don’t suck! you just need to find the inspiration. K?
I gotta go but write SOMETHING. Tonight!
I’ll try

*Plays Bridgeton*

Hmm ocean away
[Abigail, SUNG]
That’s a song…
What a title!
Could go viral
What a beautiful party
The chandelier is so sparkly

Ooh that’s good!

Simon’s an ocean away…
Finally!!
Pencil to page
I’m finding a way!

Bridgeton...
The miracle…

THE MUSICAL
BELONGS ON A STAGE
