I wrote a lot of this song while it was a slow day at work and my manager wasn't looking. I tried to experiment a bit with some layered harmonies and I'd like if there was a really gentle guitar picking pattern in the background (kind of like Man in Room 39 by The Arcadian Wild, if anyone knows what I mean) but I couldn't really come up with anything I liked. Anyway, enjoy!

Far, far away There stands a man o’ver the thunder Up, up above The wind’s blown his soul to its rest Down, down below His life’s love walks a lonely trail and wonders Oh when, oh when will I see my love again?

My dear, oh my love Wish you could come back to me My love, oh my dove You’ve gone a place I cannot be ‘Til my breath leaves my lungs Heart drums its last beat My dear, oh my love Will you please wait for me?

On, on she goes To a life without the one she wants most Low, low she goes Dragged down by the weight of love lost Down, down he cries Voice carried by the wind o’ver the coast My dear, my love you will see me again

My dear, oh my love Don’t waste your life because of me My love, oh my dove Go forth and live vehemently ‘Til your breath leaves your lungs Heart drums its last beat My love, oh my dove For you, I’ll wait patiently

There will be days When the weight seems to lessen There will be days When the heaviness wins Until the day When she finds herself in heaven She’ll laugh, drink and dance But sometimes she sings

My dear, oh my love Wish you could come back to me My love, oh my dove You’ve gone a place I cannot be ‘Til my breath leaves my lungs Heart drums its last beat My dear, oh my love Will you please wait for me?
