Wait For Me My Darling

The story of a man who goes to war but returns less than as he left.

Wait for me my darling

In the soft and glistening rain

Wait for me my darling

Even through the pain

Wait for me my darling

For though I may be gone long

Wait for me my darling

Remember me in song

Wait for me my darling

As I protect the ones I love

Wait for me my darling

When peace comes like a dove

I've waited for you my darling

In the heat of the day

I've waited for you my darling

Return to me I pray

I've waited for you my darling

Even though you have not returned

I've waited for you my darling

Now something I have learned

Why in the unfortunate hour

Do I read this yellow letter

It tells of your disappearance

I wish it said something better

They came past again

Before your ceremony

Telling me how sorry

Though your casket is a phony

They tell me your body

Lies somewhere along the plains

They hope to find it soon

As they fly over in their planes

I've moved on my darling

Someone else I have met

The wedding was last week

We don't have children yet

I have returned my darling

From the horrors I have seen

I have returned for you my darling

Though long gone I have been

Why didn't you wait for me my darling

Even though I was gone too long

I would have waited for you my darling

And remembered you in song

Wait for me my darling

In the soft and glistening rain

Wait for me my darling

Even through the pain

Wait for me my darling

For though I may be gone long

Wait for me my darling

Remember me in song

Wait for me my darling

As I protect the ones I love

Wait for me my darling

When peace comes like a dove
