Lennon/McCartney

 

 

Rating: *** (good)

 

 

 

 

This song is 100 percent a filler, since it was recorded 5 months before during the Help! sessions and included here at last moment because they needed one more song. Anyway, I think that it’s quite a good one, especially because of George’s tasteful tone pedal guitar.

Lyrics

 

WAIT

 

It’s been a long time

Now I’m coming back home

I’ve been away now

Oh how I’ve been alone

 

Wait till I come back to your side

We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried

 

But if your heart breaks

Don’t wait, turn me away

And if your heart’s strong

Hold on, I won’t delay

 

Wait till I come back to your side

We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried

 

I feel as though you ought to know

That I’ve been good, as good as I can be

And if you do, I’ll trust in you

And know that you will wait for me

 

It’s been a long time

Now I’m coming back home

I’ve been away now

Oh how I’ve been alone

 

Wait till I come back to your side

We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried

 

I feel as though you ought to know

That I’ve been good, as good as I can be

And if you do, I’ll trust in you

And know that you will wait for me

 

But if your heart breaks

Don’t wait, turn me away

And if your heart’s strong

Hold on, I won’t delay

 

Wait till I come back to your side

We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried

 

It’s been a long time

Now I’m coming back home

I’ve been away now

Oh how I’ve been alone

 

 

Get back
