I Will Wait

Aboard his ship he stops to stare

Needs to smell her, touch her hair

Say's "I can't be without her"

Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's

Makes her mind up goes to bed

Another night alone without him

Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of

All that we've become

I can't wait to make the promises

I've been leery of

I'll be there waiting for you

In the morning when times have changed

I'll be there through the lies and all

Standing like your soldiers

You hold your secrets

Through the days when I need to be alone

I will wait for you

Through the lies and all

She was left behind so they could stay

God to feel him this she prays

It would make her feel so much better

I want to feel so much better
