I Will Wait For You Lyrics - Jim Lauderdale

I've been waiting by the way 

Chill of night and heat of day 

I can't even count the hours 

Wasted in these ivory tower 

When in doubt and deep despair 

Call for me, I will be there 

If I cannot come myself 

Please, don't call on no one else 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

Blood red birds sing in the sky 

Sun is spinning, my oh my 

Stuck up on this barren hill 

Pray for rain, it never will 

I will tell you once again 

Case you didn't hear before 

You won't find a better ride 

No one else will love you more 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

If how I love you is a crime 

I will gladly do my time 

Count the days until parole 

With silver chalk marks on my soul 

I will wait on burning sand 

Wade to you through rivers and 

Make your every dream come true 

If that is given me to do 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

Seven horses dressed in gray 

Come to bear my heart away 

Nothing ventured, nothing lost 

I would rather pay the cost 

Set my reason on the line 

Wreck my health and lose my mind 

Grit my teeth, ignore the pain 

Smile at loss and count it gain 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

When I first saw you long ago 

There was nothing else to know 

I was yours, you were mine 

Whatever else came down the line 

Once upon a wintertime 

Sun broke through the clouds to shine 

Summers come and summers go 

Can't say where but this I know 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

I will wait for you in the morning 

I will wait for you in the dawn 

I will wait for you, my darling 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone 

I will wait for you 'till I'm gone
