Wait For Her

	  		
Intro: G  C  G 

       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 G/F# 
Wait for her 

Em                 C 
  And if she comes soon 
        | G | G   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 G/F# 
Wait for her 


Em                 C 
  And if she comes soon 
        | G | G   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 G/F# | 
Breathe out, breathe in 

 | Em | C | G | G   G G/F# | 
| Em | C | G | D | 
       
    G 
And as the echo fades 
          G 
From that final fusillade 
  C                       G 
Remember the promises you made
