G
With a glass inlaid with gemstones
G
On a pool around the evening
C
Among the perfumed roses
G
Wait for her
G
With the patience of a packhorse
G
Loaded for the mountains
C
Like a stoic, noble prince
G
Wait for her
G
With seven pillows laid out on the stair
G C
The scent of womens' incense fills the air
G
Be calm, and wait for her
G
And do not flush the sparrows
G
That are nesting in her braids
C
All along the barricades
G G/F#
Wait for her
Em C
And if she comes soon
G G/F#
Wait for her
Em C
And if she comes late
G
Wait
G
Let her be still
G
As a summer afternoon
C G
A garden in full bloom
G
Let her breathe in the air
G
That is foreign to her heart
C
Let her lips part
G
Wait for her
G
Take her to the balcony
G
See the moon soaked in milk
C
Hear the rustle of her silk
G
Wait for her
G
Don't let your eyes alight upon
G
The twin doves of her breast
C
Lest they take flight
G
Wait for her
G G/F#
Wait for her
Em C
And if she comes soon
G G/F#
Wait for her
Em C
And if she comes late
G D
Wait, wait
(break)
G
Serve her water before wine
G
Do not touch her hand
C G
Let your fingertips rest at her command
G
Speak softly as a flute would
G
To a fearful violin
C G G/F#
Breathe out, breathe in
G
And as the echo fades
G
From that final fusillade
C G
Remember the promises you made
