In this context, "'round [around] the bend" is similar in meaning to "around the corner," which is another way of something is very near or close by. Thus, we can understand "waitin' around the bend" to mean "waiting around the corner [nearby]." Ex: A: Hello, do you know where the gas station is? B: It's just round the bend. Ex: Don't worry too much! Your success is just around the corner.
