Wait with me

 

Ruth and Naomi by Jan Victors (Public domain)

wait with me

like the snail inside the lettuce, 

like the water for the boil,

like the patient for the doctor,

and the one left behind,

wait with me.

For the light will surely change if you

wait with me

like the upbeat to this song,

I'll show you how.

 
wait with me

like the cake inside the oven,

like the paper for the ink,

like patience for their virtues,

wait with me

For the moon will surely rise

like the upbeat to this song

I'll show you how


like the trigger for the finger,

and secrets for their shaming,

like Ruth with her Naomi,

like the best yet to come

wait with me

Are you waiting for a call?

Wait with me.

Like the wine inside the barrel,

like the mirror for the razer,

like the masked executioner,

like the dream awaits the dawn,

wait with me

For the play will soon be starting

and my seat is crying empty

and the line will soon be ending

like dal segno and this finé

If you can wait with me

I'll show you how
