I Will Wait

lyrics

I WILL WAIT K MITCHELL 1/06

I WILL WAIT FOR THE SPRINGTIME TO COME
FOR THE GRASS TO TURN GREEN
I WILL LISTEN FOR THE SOUTH WIND TO BLOW
AND THE TIDINGS IT WILL BRING

LIKE A FLOWER THAT GROWS IN THE HILLS
I’LL FIND MY PLACE IN THE SUN
LIKE A RIVER THAT WINDS SLOWLY DOWN
UNTIL IT’S JOURNEY IS DONE

CH: IF I COULD WAIT HERE, AND YIOU COULD FIND ME
AND WE COULD PLAY IN THE SUN

IF I COULD LEARN FROM THE PASSING OF THE YEARS
THESE LESSONS SO HARD WON
I TRY TO HOLD ON WHEN ITS TIME TO LET GO
RUN WHEN THERES NOWHERE TO RUN

IT TOOK A LIFETIME OF FALLING DOWN HARD
IT TOOK THE BEST OUT ME
I AM FEELING LOW TO THE GROUND
I’M NEVER GOING TO THE SEA
CH:
I WILL WAIT FOR THE SPRINGTIME TO COME
FOR THE GRASS TO TURN GREEN
I WILL LISTEN FOR THE SOUTH WIND TO BLOW
AND THE TIDINGS IT WILL BRING

His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
