lyrics

You stood by the gate in your navy coat

Rain stitched the yard to the stone by the quay

I said go on in, but you shook your head slow

You let the cold run first, and stayed with me

The butcher clock struck half past nine

Your boots sank soft in the red clay

You kept your hand on the iron sign

And told me, "No, not yet today"

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

At the door in the rain

Till you call me in again

The neighbour's dog barked at the dripping bin

Your scarf clung dark to your collarbone

I watched warm windows lift and dim

You left me outside, but you weren't alone

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

At the door in the rain

Till you call me in again

Now the kettle boils in the front room glow

And the latch still ticks when the wind leans west

If you ask me why I never went first

I liked the sound of your footsteps best

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

I'll wait here, I'll wait here

At the door in the rain

Till you call me in again
I'll wait here, I'll wait here — Cormac Blake · FERAL
