I met a man who cried at a bar. He told me he mourned, and travelled from far. So I bought a bottle and he drank with me, As he regailed me his memory. "I'm waiting for you, Dear, alone in the dark. You're dieing, they've told me, It rips me apart. You bravely are holding your fear at the start, As I cry alone in the dark. I've come to your bedside because you've been ill, Since the cold winter morning you first felt the chill. I'm waiting for Jesus to make you alright. I plead for you not to die. I ache for the sight of your watery eyes. I hear you breathing, it sounds like good-bye. This is a moment I'll relive and cry. My beautiful songbord has died. Wait for me, wait for me on the other side wait for me wait for me, wait for me wait for me, wait for me."

Bedside Ballad
I met a man who cried at a bar. He told me he mourned, and travelled from far. So I bought a bottle and he drank with me, As he regailed me his memory. "I'm waiting for you, Dear, alone in the dark. You're dieing, they've told me, It rips me apart. You bravely are holding your fear at the start, As I cry alone in the dark. I've come to your bedside because you've been ill, Since the cold winter morning you first felt the chill. I'm waiting for Jesus to make you alright. I plead for you not to die. I ache for the sight of your watery eyes. I hear you breathing, it sounds like good-bye. This is a moment I'll relive and cry. My beautiful songbord has died. Wait for me, wait for me on the other side wait for me wait for me, wait for me wait for me, wait for me."
I wrote this one in 1997 on an accustic guitar.
