Lyrics
[verse]
I was a fool who thought he had it made
Traded the truth for a crooked trade
Now the fields are empty, the harvest gone
But something in my chest still carries on
[verse]
I raised my hands and let the old pride fall
Nothing left standing but the garden wall
I'll build it back with rougher, honest hands
And plant a truth that finally understands
[chorus]
So I will wait, I will wait for you
I'll be found standing where you left me too
Though the night is long and the road unclear
I will wait, my love, I will wait right here
[verse]
There's a fire that grows when the winter's cruel
It burns away the pride, the old fool's rule
I'm not the man I was when we first met
But I still carry every debt
[chorus]
So I will wait, I will wait for you
I'll be found standing where you left me too
Though the night is long and the road unclear
I will wait, my love, I will wait right here
[bridge]
Raise my hands, paint my spirit gold
Bow my head, keep the promise told
Raise my hands, paint my spirit gold
I'll be a man worth someone growing old
[chorus]
So I will wait, I will wait for you
I'll be found standing where you left me too
Though the night is long and the road unclear
I will wait, my love, I will wait right here
[outro]
I will wait, until the morning comes
