Wait for Me

I wrote a letter Hoping you would read it I know it's last minute And we're both already old But how am I to find you and get it to you When every trail has gone cold I asked around from those who knew you Where you might have gone They told me not to bother That you'd already withdrawn But I feel I have to get this message to you I can't go on like this, without telling you to Wait for me Stay and wait Wait for me Don't leave just yet On a Tuesday in the temple Some thirty years ago We experienced a moment That touched us to the core You told us you were an ocean liner A carrier of souls And I just need to stay on board When we were young and sailed together I was sure there could never Be a distance too vast for us to cross I would never feel lost I should have known better I drifted away So, before you raise the sails for the last time just Wait for me Stay and wait Wait for me And don't sail away just yet Wait for me Stay and wait Wait for me I'm on my way
