She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
He promised to meet her
At midnight
Where they first met
He promised her
They'd run away
And be together forever
She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
In days of youth
He pledged his love
With a ring of silver
He promised he'd be hers
And hers only
In life and death
She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
Life called him away
For country's sake
He went abroad
While away
He met someone new
A beauty to behold
She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
The new beauty
Now held his heart
As he held hers
Under a giant willow
The beauty and the man
Pledged their love for one another
She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
Over a year has passed
Since he went abroad
And found a new love
A year
Without any word
Yet..
She sits and waits
Under the giant elm
For her love to come
