I Will Wait for You

Even if the skies go dark… Even if the roses turn to ash… Still, I will wait for you. Wither the leaves from the trees Let the stars fall silent in the sky Let all I’ve known Be carried by wind and die You can take my breath You can take the light You can steal the warmth Of every night I will wait (I will wait) For you I will wait (I will wait) For you Though the heavens break above I’ll still be waitin’ for your love (Your love) Waitin’ for your love (Your love) Seasons may rot in their graves Clocks may sleep beneath the sea And still this aching heart Won’t let your shadow flee Candles dim, but I remain Bound by your name like a chain In the dust, I’ll write: Come home again Let time be my tomb Let silence be my song But love, if you return It won’t have been too long… The paint peels off the parlor walls The garden chokes on thorn and vine Yet every creaking floorboard sighs Of days when you were mine I sip the years like bitter tea Laced with your memory If it takes a hundred more You’ll still find me I will wait (I will wait) For you I will wait (I will wait) For you Though the heavens break above I’ll still be waitin’ for your love (Your love) Waitin’ for your love (Your love) Waitin’ for your love (Your love) Let the world decay and rust Let every vow turn into dust Even if you’re gone Long enough to wither the world… I’ll still be here Waitin’ for your love.
