Worth the Wait - Shayfer James

There’s a tunnel burrowed underneath

This white-faced wasteland

There’s a woman in that ancient tree

The one that history

Keeps reminding me to think upon again

There’s a blossom tumbling on the wind

And a watchman at the gate

He’s busy polishing his gun again

A gift the devil sent

With a note that told him war is worth the wait

War is worth the wait

War is worth the wait

There was a dark cloud over Chilton

All the horses were asleep

I didn’t startle when a shot rang out

But I heard someone shout

My kingdom, my kingdom for a preach

Thre were vulturs circling overhead

A shadow crosses on the moon

There wasn’t time enough to morn the dead

So we chose instead

To leave a note that read we’re here and gone too soon

Here and gone too soon

Here and gone too soon

It doesn’t matter how you color things

It doesn’t matter what you say

There’s a truth with no alternative

So don’t pretend to live

As if it’s yours to give and take away

There’s a blossom buried underneath

This concrete wasteland

My heart is broken but before I leave

I’ll write a note that reads

Be patient please, love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait

Love is worth the wait
