I Will Wait For You Lyrics


I've been waiting by the way
Chill of night and heat of day
I can't even count the hours
Wasted in these ivory towerWhen in doubt and deep despair
Call for me, I will be there
If I cannot come myself
Please, don't call on no one elseI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling
I will wait for you till I'm goneBlood red birds sing in the sky
Sun is spinning, my oh my
Stuck up on this barren hill
Pray for rain, it never willI will tell you once again
Case you didn't hear before
You won't find a better ride
No one else will love you moreI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling

I will wait for you till I'm goneIf how I love you is a crime
I will gladly do my time
Count the days until parole
With silver chalk marks on my soulI will wait on burning sand
Wade to you through rivers and
Make your every dream come true
If that is given me to doI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling
I will wait for you till I'm goneSeven horses dressed in gray
Come to bear my heart away
Nothing ventured, nothing lost
I would rather pay the costSet my reason on the line
Wreck my health and lose my mind
Grit my teeth, ignore the pain
Smile at loss and count it gainI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling
I will wait for you till I'm goneWhen I first saw you long ago
There was nothing else to know
I was yours, you were mine
Whatever else came down the lineOnce upon a wintertime
Sun broke through the clouds to shine
Summers come and summers go
Can't say where but this I knowI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling
I will wait for you till I'm goneI will wait for you in the morning
I will wait for you in the dawn
I will wait for you, my darling
I will wait for you till I'm gone
I will wait for you till I'm gone
