Wait For Her Lyrics - Roger Waters

Will a glass inlaid with gemstones 

On a pool around the evening 

Among the perfumed roses 

Wait for her 

With the patience of a packhorse 

Loaded for the mountains 

Like a stoic, noble prince 

Wait for her 

With seven pillows laid out on the stair 

The scent of womens' incense fills the air 

Be calm, and wait for her 

And do not flush the sparrows that are nesting in her braids 

All along the barricades 

Wait for her 

And if she comes soon 

Wait for her 

And if she comes late 

Wait 

Let her be still 

As a summer afternoon 

A garden in full bloom 

Let her breathe in the air 

That is foreign to her heart 

Let her lips part 

Wait for her 

Take her to the balcony 

See the moon soaked in milk 

Hear the rustle of her silk 

Wait for her 

Don't let your eyes alight upon 

The twin doves of her breast 

Lest they take flight 

Wait for her 

And if she comes soon 

Wait for her 

And if she comes late 

Wait, wait 

Serve her water before wine 

Do not touch her hand 

Let your fingertips 

Rest at her command 

Speak softly as a flute would 

To a fearful violin 

Breathe out 

Breathe in 

And as the echo fades 

From that final fusillade 

Remember the promises you made
