I’m waitingI waitfor the creaking of the gate
How longhow long must I wait.
I sitI sitthe weeds gather ’round me
The wind whips my dress so that I cannot see.
So longgood-byeto that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
I stareI stareand I’m looking over there
’cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled.
I look and I see a light burnin’ bright
But I know it doesn’t burn for me tonight
So longgood-byeto that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
Looking downlooking downto where he once laid
The birds hovered then took him away.
I rise to my feet and I walk down that road
Where I silently cry when this story is told.
So longgood-byeto that great moaning sky and I’ll cast my heart down the well.
