1.

He left the valley into glory

along the road of no return.

But in my soul I keep on worry

and wait until my years burn.

No hope was promised. No desire

is strong enough to raise the dead.

And yet I hold my breath like fire

to never say the last farewell.  

RF:

For I can wait

and I will wait

I wait for you,

my love. I wait.

2.

Now storms and wolves control the valley –

so full of life not long ago.

Then laughter vanished. All was perished

except the bitter taste of war.

This place I stay – alone and bare.

No beast shall dare to disturb

my endless watch, my silent prayer

for you, My darling, to return.  

RF:

For I can wait

and I will wait

I wait for you,

my love. I wait.

3.

Let eons pass. Another people

may find my body petrified

and wonder what has happened here.

I would not bother to reply.

RF:

For I can wait

and I will wait

I wait for you, my love.

I wait.
