Wait for Me

Girl, come to me in a dream

And I don't even know her name

A pretty mark upon her breast

To signify her from the rest

But her and I are just the same

Building bridges out of fame

She stands upon a dinner plate

And tells me that I'll have to wait

(Wait for me)

I know it won't be easy

What a thing

To believe

In a dream

Perhaps I knew her long ago

I wrote her poems at nine years old

But then I did become a man

The letter slipped right through my hands

I practiced all my wit and charm

Had many girls on every arm

I learned the depths of love and hate

But never did learn how to wait

Wait for you

You say it like it's easy to do

What a thing

To believe

In a dream

I hope you know that all my life

I have been searching for a wife

A partner and a confidant

The girl who wants the things I want

A girl who doesn't come along

'Cause she's already where I'm going

I stand upon a broken stage

I beg you darlin', please, please wait

Wait for me

I know it won't be easy

What a thing

To believe

In a dream

I believe

In a dream
