As I returned to this ancient town
Rain concealed its history
And I breathed our names into the clouds
Searched in awe and mystery
And I'd wait
With my head in my hands and my heart off the wall
Making no common sense 'cause there's none left at all
Wishing that things hadn't ended this way
And the world would listen not throw me away
And I'd wait
Don't let it get you down she said
That we are far apart
So many years, those wasted years
Of nursing a broken heart
And I'd wait for you
I will wait here for you
If I should stumble
If I should fall
Turn and run
As I stand here alone on St. Michael's today
With a butterfly the only thing in my way
Drifting and drinking and feeling alone
Yet I'm starting to think that big changes will come
And I'll wait
For you
I will wait here for you
If I should stumble
If I should fall
When I am no more
When I am gone
Turn and run
