While I wait for my lover to come
I while away the bitter boredom
But I won't go to sleep
Until my lover comes
I won't go to sleep
'Til my lover comes

While I wait for my lover to come
I waste away in the bathtub
But I won't get out
Until my lover comes
No I won't go to sleep
Until my lover comes

Save me my darling
Save me my sweet thing
Baptize me clean
And I'll be yours forever more

While I wait for my lover to come
The demon calls to measure my love
But I won't answer the door
Until my lover comes
I will not answer the door
Until my lover comes
