[Verse 1]
Was it in your higher [C]wisdom
That you [F]turned your [C]light from [Dm]me?
Or [F]was it just your sense [G]of humor
That for [Am]a moment [G]I should s[Dm]ee?[F][C]
In that darkness was I weeping
In that [F]si [Dm]lence sadly [F]free[Dm]
[F]Now I'm waiting in your [G]valley
[Am]To be standing on your mount[F]ain
That I [C]might tumble down your [F]hillside
To a [Dm]place [F]that waits for [C]me[F]
[Dm][C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[C]
From a time I dare to mention
I was [Dm]shown the broken line
[F]In this world of good inten[G]tions
The [Am]cruelest love can [G]seem so [F]kind[Dm]
[C]And you may harbor quiet sorrow
But to [F]speak it [Dm]is the crime
[F]And so I'm waiting in your [G]valley[Am]
To be standing on your moun[F]tain
That I [C]might tumble down
your hill[Dm]side[F]
To a place that wait[Dm]s for me[C]

[Dm][Am][Dm][F][Dm][C][F][C][Dm][C]

[Verse 3]
I am soldier without [C]country
Having laid [F]my [C]guns [Dm]to rest
I am time [F]without [G]the notion
You could [Am]say I floundered with
[Dm]the best[F]
[C]I have followed after hunger
And I [F]watched my [Am]wants [Dm]infest
[F]Now I'm waiting in [G]your valley
[Am]To be standing on your mount[Dm]ain[F]
That I [C]might tumble down your hillside
[Dm]To a[F] place t[Dm]hat wa[F]its for me[Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[C]I have asked so many people
What the [Dm]spark of [Am]life [Dm]might be
But they bade [F]me [G]not to ask for
More than [Am]the muted [Dm]heart could [F]be[Dm]
[C]And though they posed me many faces
All [F]but one [Am]I could not [Dm]see
[F]And so I'm waiting in [G]your valley
[Am]To be standing on your mountain[F]
That I [C]might tumble down
your hill[Dm]side[F]
To a place that waits for [C]me
