There's a tunnel burrowed underneath This white-faced wasteland There's a woman in that ancient tree The one that history Keeps reminding me to think upon again There's a blossom tumbling on the wind And a watchman at the gate He's busy polishing his gun again A gift the devil sent With a note that told him war is worth the wait War is worth the wait War is worth the wait There was a dark cloud over Chilton All the horses were asleep I didn't startle when a shot rang out But I heard someone shout My kingdom, my kingdom for a preach Thеre were vulturеs circling overhead A shadow crosses on the moon There wasn't time enough to morn the dead So we chose instead To leave a note that read we're here and gone too soon Here and gone too soon Here and gone too soon It doesn't matter how you color things It doesn't matter what you say There's a truth with no alternative So don't pretend to live As if it's yours to give and take away There's a blossom buried underneath This concrete wasteland My heart is broken but before I leave I'll write a note that reads Be patient please, love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait Love is worth the wait
