Wait For Me

[Verse 1]
Boy, come to me in a dream
And I don’t even know his name
A pretty mark upon his breast
To signify him from the rest

But he and I are just the same
Building bridges out of fame
He stands upon a dinner plate
And tells me that I’ll have to wait

[Chorus]
Wait for me, I know it won’t be easy
What a thing to believe in a dream

[Verse 2]
Perhaps I knew him long ago
I wrote him poems at nine years old
But I became a woman
And let him slip right through my hands

I practiced all my wit and charm
Many boys on every arm
I learned the depths of love and hate
But never did learn how to wait

[Chorus]
Wait for you, you say it like it’s easy to do
What a thing to believe in a dream

[Verse 3]
I'll have you know that all my life
I have wanted to be a wife
A partner and a confidant
To a boy who wants the things I want
A boy who doesn't come along
‘Cause he’s already where I’m going
I stand upon a broken stage
I'm beggin', darlin', please please wait

[Chorus]
Wait for me, I know it won’t be easy
What a thing to believe in a dream
I believe in a dream
