When I whisper, "Beloved will return one day,"
My heart replies, "Indeed, one day He'll stay."
Wait a while, still wait, forever wait,
Wait a while, still wait, seal the gate.
Wait.

The evening's blush, smoldered to ash and dust,
My heart's beloved, he comes not, I'm left to trust
In picking flowers, waiting is all I have,
Wait a while, still wait, to find love's path.
Wait.

Night descends, tears like stars prick my eyes,
In this, my homeland, I'm a stranger, since my love did rise,
Since my love did go away,
Wait a while, still wait, for a brighter day,
Wait a while, still wait, come what may.
Wait.

Dawn breaks, but none arrive to grace my empty bed,
Stars have drowned, lamps have died, words unsaid,
Moths reduced to ash and dust,
Wait a while, still wait, in love I trust,
Wait a while, still wait, though my heart must.
Wait.
