Don't wait for me too long. Life may pass you by.

I'm feeling solemn today. I ran over a couple songs that are absolutely beautiful. I know you should listen to them. The first is By: Motopony, "Wait For Me". I think we need to learn to wait patiently more. I think because we don't wait, we miss opportunities given to us. Or we overlook the significance of why we had to wait so long. And the significance could be greater than the outcome. 


She'll come to me in a dream
And I don't even know her name
A pretty mark upon her breast
To signify her from the rest
But her and I are just the same
Building bridges outta fame
She stands upon a dinner plate
And tells me that I'll have to wait

(Oooh, Wait for me)
I know it won't be easy
What a thing
To believe
In a dream
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/motopony/wait_for_me.html ]
Perhaps I knew her long ago
I wrote her poems at nine years old
But then I did become a man
The letter slipped right through my hands
Practiced all my wit and charm
Had many girls on every arm
I learned the depths of love and hate
But never did learn how to wait

Wait for you
You say it like it's easy to do
What a thing
To believe
In a dream

I hope you know that all my life
I have been searching for a wife
A partner and a confidant
The girl who wants the things I want
A girl who doesn't come along
Cuz she's already where I'm goin'
I stand upon a broken stage
I beg ya darling, please, please wait

Wait for me
I know it won't be easy
What a thing
To believe
In a dream


... Absolutely beautiful. Along with an artist named Gregory Alan Isakov, "The Stable Song"
