NIGHT WARS

Wait for me, and I'll come back!

Wait with all you've got!

Wait, when dreary yellow rains

Tell you, you should not

Wait when snow is falling fast

Wait when summer's hot

Wait when yesterdays are past

Others are forgot

Wait, when from that far-off place

Letters don't arrive

Wait, when those with whom you wait

Doubt if I'm alive

Wait for me, and I'll come back!

Wait in patience yet

When they tell you off by heart

That you should forget

Even when my dearest ones

Say that I am lost

Even when my friends give up

Sit and count the cost

Drink a glass of bitter wine

To the fallen friend -

Wait! And do not drink with them!

Wait until the end!

Wait for me and I'll come back

Dodging every fate!

"What a bit of fuck!" they'll say

Those that would not wait

They will never understand

How amidst the strife

By your waiting for me, dear

You had saved my life

Only you and I will know

How you got me through

Simply - you knew how to wait -

No one else but you...
