Just down the road, some sixty miles away
There's smoke in the sky, she's goin' down in flames
Please wait for me, please wait for me
Time will fly like a cannonball, my darlin' you will see
Take all of my love and let it keep you warm
I shall return when we settle the score
Please wait for me, please wait for me
Time will fly like a cannonball, my darlin' you will see
Please wait for me
Oh I've waited so long, time has yet to prove who was right, who was wrong
I have to justify all of my fears down a broken road of tears
I love you, remember I need you
Please wait for me
Just down the road, some sixty miles away
Smoke in the sky, oh, she's goin' down in flames
Please wait for me, please wait for me
Time will fly like a cannonball, oh, my darlin' you will see
Please, please wait for me, please wait for me
I'm goin' down in despair, oh, got a heart with a heavy load
Please wait for me, my darlin' wait for me, please
