Waiting for You

Will you be faithful to me?
Is your heart good and true?
While you sow sorrow and pain,
Darling, I’m waiting for you.
Because of your cruel ways,
I may never live to know.
In justice to my true love,
I’ll give you before I go.
Repeat first two verses
Repeat first verse
Break
If we cannot meet again
Till our troubles all are through,
Beyond the river of Jordan,
I’ll still be waiting for you.
Repeat second verse (chorus)
When you seek my grassy mount,
Then our trouble all is through.
My days have been shortened
Whilst I’ve been waiting for you.
Because of your cruel ways,
I may never live to know.
In justice to my true love,
I’ll give you before I go.
