lyrics

I WILL WAIT

‘I will wait for you
till the morning comes’
she said to him at the sound of the drum
he left her at the window
throwing stones into a cup
she crumbled her long term lovers
into a handful of dust

‘I will wait for you
until the morning arrives
till the dawn breaks russet
and the moon falls out of the sky’
he wore all his colours
in the brim of his hat
she threw him a rose said
‘You must be crazy
to leave me for someone like that’

Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
after all I might not be the one for you
Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
after all I might not be the one for you

The dogs were barking
at the banging of the door
the letters he wrote her
were littered around the bedroom floor
well he walked on down to the docks
his ship it sailed at two
her window looked over the sea
and all she could see was the blue

Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
after all I might not be the one for you
Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
after all I might not be the one for you

The morning it came and went
and the clock ticked on
she remembered waking up
to find he was gone
and in her new love’s eyes
sometimes she sees
the shadow of someone
who said he was free

And when the time comes
to make that choice
between staying
and leaving
to the sound of your own voice
remember her at the window
with her incredible satin and bows
and him with his poppyfield smile
and his colours
and his rose

Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
after all I might not be the one for you
Don’t wait for me
I never wanted you to
and after all
I never meant that much to you
