Bide My Time Lyrics

At the

Edge of your window

In the cold winter's moon

Lies my heart, cold and bare,

Lying there, just for you

I know you won't accept it

I know you won't even see

But I will bide my time

Until you run home to me

You left so many years ago

Almost for fourty-three

I start to wonder if you'll return

On that small trip for me

I know you don't write home

My letters you will not see

But I will bide my time

Until you run home to me

When you set farewell, adieu,

On that ship, oh, years ago

In my mind was etched your face

But the time has quickly grown

I have pulled out all my heartstrings

Let the blood sit cold and bare

Lying simply on your windowsill

For you to seek and stare

I know you'll scream and shout, now

When you finally do see

But I will rest so softly now

That you have seen inside of me
