"Worth The Wait" lyrics

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

There were vultures 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
