He Waits For Her...

He sits and waits for her patiently, Though she has been gone a long time. She promised her return with the rising sun, He knows she hasn't left him behind. He dreams of her arms around him, Feels her lips upon him as he sleeps. She said when she left I shall return my love, So he waits and waits and the fire he keeps. He has grown old and gray keeping the watch, But he doesn't waver in his faith for her. So day by day he awaits her return, He lays down and rises up, And he waits for her.
