Artist/Band: Gordon Lightfoot
Lyrics for Song: Waiting For You
Lyrics for Album: Waiting for You [1993]



Say what you will, I will miss you my friends

Let me move along for the road never ends

Vowing to live till the end of all time

All the way to the ends of the earth because i'm

Waiting for you to say you will be mine

Many long days, many long years

Many wrong plays, many wrong fears

I could be tossed in the arms of the sea

I could be caught between decks eternally

Waiting for you to ask what's keeping me



What would we do at the end of the day

When the hours are asleep and the time slips away

Children are all that the earth has to show

Children are all that the earth wants to know

Up here in the northland, up here in the snow



Up in the wilderness, land of our birth

Land of our toil, land of our worth

I could stay healthy and wealthy and wise

For I love the snow other snowbirds criticize

Tell that to a wife and you'll get a surprise



The skies of north america are covered in stars

Over factories and farms, over hamlets and bars

The breeze of north america is breathless at night

Out there in the distance some souls are in flight

Some soft-hearted lovers whose goals are in sight



Here in my on-again, off-again style

Here in my on-again, off-again smile

Here in my off-again, on-again grin

Here in my off-again, on-again skin

Waiting for you to say let us begin
