I've been swimming in shallow water I've been digging in stony ground I've been searching in hidden shadows I've been searching in vain Wait, do I need to wait till I die Stay, will you stay through the night So I might just for once let go I've been thirsting in arid deserts I've been drinking from drying wells I've been striving without direction I've been striving in vain Wait, do I need to wait till I die Stay, will you stay through the night So I might just for once let go If I'd wade thru a thousand waters Make my way thru a million tears If I'd wait for your loving laughter Then I guess I could Wait, I guess I could wait till I die Stay, promise to stay through the night And then I will for once let go
