Wait For Me Lyrics

Wait for me
Wait for me
By the stage door
Slip between the barricades
that blink & block the alley
like soldiers
I want to see you when I come
I want to see you when I come
round the corner
underneath the street lamp
that's been dressed for Christmas since summer
A break in the clouds
A sky full of stars
and I feel
like you've been here
all along

Close your eyes
I'll lead you into the wings
heave on the ropes that keep the curtains tied
Lights in the empty room
turn dust into a starry sky
Seats are like shoulders
dressed up in imaginary suits & ties
And in my heart
A break in the clouds
Can we stand on this empty stage
Can we stand on this empty stage and
take a bow?

Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
the world is cold
& I can't hold on
I can only let go
Give me this moment
For the rest of my life
I want you
I want you
By my side
