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 tower When in doubt and deep despair Call for me, I will be there If I cannot come myself Please, don't call on no one else I 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 Blood red birds sing in the sky Sun is spinning, my oh my Stuck up on this barren hill Pray for rain, it never will I will tell you once again Case you didn't hear before You won't find a better ride No one else will love you more I 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 If how I love you is a crime I will gladly do my time Count the days until parole With silver chalk marks on my soul I will wait on burning sand Wade to you through rivers and Make your every dream come true If that is given me to do I 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 Seven horses dressed in gray Come to bear my heart away Nothing ventured, nothing lost I would rather pay the cost Set my reason on the line Wreck my health and lose my mind Grit my teeth, ignore the pain Smile at loss and count it gain I 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 When I first saw you long ago There was nothing else to know I was yours, you were mine Whatever else came down the line Once upon a wintertime Sun broke through the clouds to shine Summers come and summers go Can't say where but this I know I 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 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
