| In my heart I will wait | |
| by the stony gate | |
| and the little one | |
| in my arms will sleep. | |
| Every rising of the moon | |
| makes the years grow late | |
| and the love in our hearts will keep. | |
| There are friends I will make | |
| and bonds I will break | |
| as the seasons roll by | |
| and we build our own sky. | |
| In my heart I will wait | |
| by the stony gate | |
| and the little one | |
| in my arms will sleep. | |
| And the stars in your sky | |
| are the stars in mine | |
| and both prisoners | |
| of this life are we. | |
| Through the same troubled waters | |
| we carry our time, | |
| you and the convicts and me. | |
| There's a good thing to know | |
| on the outside or in, | |
| to answer not where | |
| but just who I am. | |
| Because the stars in your sky | |
| are the stars in mine | |
| and both prisoners | |
| of this life are we. | |
| And the hills that you know | |
| will remain for you | |
| and the little willow green | |
| will stand firm. | |
| The flowers that we planted | |
| through the seasons past | |
| will all bloom | |
| on the day you return. | |
| To a baby at play | |
| all a mother can say, | |
| he'll return on the wind | |
| to our hearts, and till then | |
| I will sit and I'll wait | |
| by the stony gate | |
| and the little one | |
| 'neath the trees will dance. |
| In my heart I will wait | |
| by the stony gate | |
| and the little one | |
| in my arms will sleep. | |
| Every rising of the moon | |
| makes the years grow late | |
| and the love in our hearts will keep. | |
| There are friends I will make | |
| and bonds I will break | |
| as the seasons roll by | |
| and we build our own sky. | |
| In my heart I will wait | |
| by the stony gate | |
| and the little one | |
| in my arms will sleep. | |
| And the stars in your sky | |
| are the stars in mine | |
| and both prisoners | |
| of this life are we. | |
