Darlin', wait for me, by your gate
In the evenin' light, ah I just can't wait
For I have to go, in the mornin', too soon
So, honey, don't you cry; I'll be back here soon
So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you
Darlin' wait for me, I'll be home then
When the autumn leaves bring me back again
Darlin' wait for me, darlin' please wait
'Til the evenin' light, by your starlit gate
So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you
That's all I ask of you, all I ask
'Til I hold your hand, there'll be peace at last
Don't wait up 'til it's dark
All those lonely hours that we're apart
Darlin', please
Darlin', please
Darlin', please
Darlin'.. please
