LYRICS:
Verse 1 I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
Verse 2 You can leave me abandoned
Like the year if you are begging (not sure of this line)
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
Chorus You shall be...
You shall be....
You shall be.....
Forgiven....
You shall be...
You shall be....
You shall be.....
Forgiven....
Verse 3 Here I have been waiting
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Verse 4 Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed on my reflections
But inside I'm still just a child
But inside I'm still just a child
CHORUS
SLIDE GUITAR SOLO W/WAH WAH
Verse 5 These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle
But to share your warm embrace
But to share in your embrace
CHORUS x 2
-I dont know if that is exactly were it ends but it was cut off
at that point on th radio and I transcribed this from the tape of
the radio show.
-Jai Mitchell (Self Proclaimed to be
arguably the biggest
Ben Harper fan on earth)
PROVE ME WRONG!!!!
