Guy Nottingham - Wait for Me

Our world is under siege and death is all around
Bullets fly above my head, there’re bodies on the ground
The enemy’s at the city gates, and rats around my feet
But I’ll survive the pain and hate if you’ll only wait for me
The world is dark, the night is cold, there’s no fuel here anymore
The young, the weak the old, are first to die - not last I’m sure
But while I have you in my soul, they can’t touch me, I am free
There is hope, wait for me, wait for me
Wait with all you’ve got, through the dreary yellow rain
And I’ll see you, Valentina, on the other side of pain
Wait, when from that far off place my letters don’t arrive
Wait, when those who wait with you doubt that I’m still alive
Wait, when friends are saying I am lost and I am gone
Don’t drink their toast in bitter wine, don’t sing their tribute song
They'll never understand how through the anguish and the strife
That by waiting for me, darling, you will have saved my worthless life
You are my first thought when I waken and my last one every night
The one thing they haven’t taken, the only reason I still fight
On this side or the other, you and I, we’ll be complete
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
You're the fire that burns inside of me
You're the light that sees me pure and clean
So while the flame still flickers deep inside my soul
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
You're my rudder, you're my anchor, you’re my heart, you are my soul
You're my hope and inspiration, you're the one who makes me whole
I’m barely clinging on without you, but in us I still believe
I'll somehow find a way home, if you’re waiting there for me
Now the final embers fade away and the end is drawing near
There’s nothing to sustain me now, no respite from the fear
Though I’m weak and I am starving, in life or death we’ll be complete
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me, wait for me
