lyrics

“Wait by the gate,” her darling asked,
“I will not tarry long.”
But it’s been three days since last they kissed
As she slowly turns to sone.
He promised he would hurry back
With a suitcase and a plan.
He’s working on the grandest scheme
To keep them hand in hand.

How long must I wait, how long til I hear back from you?
Too late to save face, in their whispers I hear the word “fool.”
Days flow, the rains fall, can’t make out one drop from another
Oh as I wait for my falsehearted lover

“Come home, come home,” dear mother pleads
And sister begs every day.
But I have not strayed from this here gate
Since first he slipped away.
The old gray stones along the fence,
The green that climbs the gate,
And my forgotten shade of blue
An interwoven fate.

How long must I wait, how long til I hear back from you?
Too late to save face, in their whispers I hear the word “fool.”
Days flow, the rain fall, can’t make out one drop from another
Oh as I wait for my falsehearted lover
