Wait For Me

I know the timing is wrong.
I know the world would say no.
But I can’t let you go.

Your husband is fighting for a King across the sea.
You’re fighting a battle right here with me.
We steal these moments, we steal these days.
Hidden in shadows, lost in the haze.
I’m patient, my love. I’ve learned how to wait.
I don’t force the hand of the master called Fate.
But it’s hard when I leave you, it’s hard when I ride.
Knowing I’m leaving my heart by your side.

Wait for me.
Through the winter and the war.
Wait for me.
Until he walks through the door.
If he comes back, I will bow and depart.
But if he doesn't… then I claim your heart.
Wait for me.
Don't give up on us yet.
Wait for me.

Hamilton writes to a girl named Eliza.
He moves like a storm, he’s a womanizer.
He wants it all now, he wants it tonight.
But I know that true love is a longer fight.
I’ll study the law while I wait for the news.
I’ll build us a life that we can't refuse.
Theodosia, you are the anchor I need.
Without you, I’m just a drift in the weed.

The letters come slowly. The rumors are flying.
People are living and people are dying.
But we are suspended in amber and glass.
Praying this season of danger will pass.
Just hold on.
Just hold on.

Wait for me.
Through the winter and the war.
Wait for me.
Until he walks through the door.
Fate has a plan, and the plan is for us.
In patience and silence, in you I trust.
Wait for me.

I’m waiting.
I’m always waiting.
