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That you'd already withdrawn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
