I'm waiting, i wait, for the creaking of the gate,
How long, how long must i wait.
I sit, i sit, the weeds gather 'round me,
The wind whips my dress so that i cannot see.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i'll cast my heart down
The well.
I stare, i stare, and i'm looking over there,
'cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled.
I look and i see a light burnin' bright,
But i know it doesn't burn for me tonight
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i'll cast my heart down
The well.
Looking down, looking down, to where he once laid,
The birds hovered then took him away.
I rise to my feet and i walk down that road
Where i silently cry when this story is told.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and i'll cast my heart down
The well.
