Lyrics for Orphan's Lament
Born for love and nothing more Given away 'cause we was poor Will you wait, will you wait for me? My hair was black and my eyes was bright Never gave pleasure to my parent's sight Will you wait, will you wait for me? I'll be waiting by the river my love I'll be waiting there by the trees Will you wait My face was brown and my hair was long Cut my hair, hushed my song Will you wait, will you wait for me? All my life I've been forced to roam Never had a place to call my own Will you wait, will you wait for me? I'll be waiting there by the river my love I'll be waiting there by the trees Will you wait
