Wait for Me

I wrote a letter
Hoping you would read it
I know it's last minute
And we're both already old

But how am I to find you and get it to you
When every trail has gone cold

I asked around from those who knew you
Where you might have gone
They told me not to bother
That you'd already withdrawn

But I feel I have to get this message to you
I can't go on like this, without telling you to

Wait for me
Stay and wait
Wait for me
Don't leave just yet

On a Tuesday in the temple
Some thirty years ago
We experienced a moment
That touched us to the core

You told us you were an ocean liner
A carrier of souls
And I just need to stay on board

When we were young and sailed together
I was sure there could never
Be a distance too vast for us to cross
I would never feel lost

I should have known better
I drifted away
So, before you raise the sails for the last time just

Wait for me
Stay and wait
Wait for me
And don't sail away just yet

Wait for me
Stay and wait
Wait for me
I'm on my way
