When the willows start to weep And the winter wind has died When the water's running deep I look to the other side Searching for my true love Hoping that he will come He took me by the hand Swore his love was true When I looked into his eyes I saw oceans of blue Waves crashing on the shore He was coming to me once more Wait for me, I will return Inside my heart my love will burn You're in my soul forever more Wait for me Please wait for me Sometimes in the night I think I hear him call But it's the lonely whippoorwill Singing in that song I wait and time goes by Spinning dreams that I can hear his cry Wait for me, I will return Inside my heart my love will burn You're in my soul forever more Wait for me Please wait for me When the willows start to weep I'll be back by your side
