The Prodigal Bride (I’ll Wait For You)

[Verse 1]
Everyday I'm still amazed
At your beauty and your imperfections
I got beneath your skin and loved you in
Your vanities and indiscretions
All your haves and your have-nots will turn to dust in time
There's still a chance to save yourself while I've got you on the line
And you know it

[Chorus 1]
Baby, I'll wait for you
It's not too late for you
You've been right, you've been wrong
Been so weak, you could be strong
Baby, I'll wait for you

[Verse 2]
You don't see clear, I'm standing here
In the shadows of imagination
And you alone form blood and bone
Put flesh around my incarnation
I smell the rain here in your hair, see the tears that mark your face
But I'm just a ghost that can't be seen without the eyes of faith
And you know it

[Chorus 2]
Baby, I'm here for you
Have I made it clear to you?
Whether you're up, whether you're down
You know I'll always be around
Baby, I'm here for you

[Bridge]
When first beheld the man
You nailed down his open hand
'Cause he wasn't much to look at way back when
Now your dance of freedom's raised a storm
A day for death, a time to mourn
Until that long lost love is born again
Baby, I'll wait for you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
God knows you've tried to close your eyes
To secrets everybody's onto
In your shadowed brow, the demons growl
They've left furrows in all the faces that you've gone through
But you still wear the wedding dress, though it hangs like tattered sheets
Beyond the flesh that is revealed, I only play for keeps
And you know it

[Chorus 1]
Baby, I'll wait for you
It's not too late for you
You've been right, you've been wrong
Been so weak, you could be strong
Baby, I'll wait for you

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, baby, I'm here for you
Have I made it clear to you?
Whether you're up, whether you're down
You know I'll always be around
Baby, I'm here for you

[Outro]
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
It's not too late for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
Baby, I'll wait for you
(I'll wait for you)
