Right Here Waiting

Right Here Waiting

    

    Richard Marx
    Oceans apart day after day
    And I slowly go insane
    I hear your voice on the line
    But it doesn't stop the pain
    If I see you next to never
    How can we say forever
    Wherever you go
    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Whatever it takes
    Or how my heart breaks
    I will be right here waiting for you
    I took for granted, all the times
    That I though would last somehow
    I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
    But I can't get near you now
    Oh, can't you see it baby
    You've got me goin' crazy
    Wherever you go
    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Whatever it takes
    Or how my heart breaks
    I will be right here waiting for you
    I wonder how we can survive
    This romance
    But in the end if I'm with you
    I'll take the chance
    Oh, can't you see it baby
    You've got me goin' crazy
    Wherever you go
    Whatever you do
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Whatever it takes
    Or how my heart breaks
    I will be right here waiting for you
    Scarborough Fair/Canticle
    Simon and Garfunkel
    Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
    Parsley, sage¹, rosemary and thyme.
    Remember me to one who lives there.
    She once was a true love of mine.
    On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
    Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
    Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
    Sleeps unaware² of the clarion³ call.
    Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
    Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
    Without no seams nor needle work,
    Then she'll be a true love of mine.
    On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
    Washes the grave with silvery tears.
    A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
    Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
    Tell her to find me an acre of land:
    Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
    Between the salt water and the sea strand,
    Then she'll be a true love of mine.
    War bellows⁴ blazing in scarlet⁵ battalions⁶.
    General order their soldiers to kill.
    And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.
    Tell her to reap it with a sickle⁷ of leather:
    Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
    And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
    Then she'll be a true love of mine.
