David Gates Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.I Will Wait For You

If I seem impatient... pardon me
Someone's in the way of....our destiny
And I don't know how long you'll be
Or if or when you'll be set free
If you can hold out I can too
I will wait for you

I will wait if it takes forever
As long as you want me to
In this life or the next one after
I will wait for you

Time is wasting... let's get eye to eye
Does he make you happy... can he satisfy
I dion't know how long he'll be
If or when you're gonna set him free
If you can hold out I can too
I will wait for you


2.I Use The Soap

I use the soap to wash the dirt of my face
I write with pencil so that I can erase
But what's to do when someone's taken my place with you, with
you

I know to stop when the light turns to red
And when it rains I know to cover my head
But what's to do when I wish'd I were dead over you, 'ver you,
over you

Do do do do do etc
Plannin' to write off tomorrow
Do do do do do etc
Hopin' to wash off the sorrow

I woke to find that my world was not there
It ceased to me when I found you did not care
And my ambition vanished into thin air along with you, with you

Now my emotions find it hard to let go
And as for me I'll find a new road to hoe
But maybe this time I will take it more slow than before, before
Than before


3.Sail Around The World

I would sail around the world
Look for gold and dive for pearl
But I know I will never get to go
I would like to win a prize, be in everybody's eyes
But it's true, I would probably not get to

My life has always been simple
No one ever knows when I come and go
And my dreams are ending at sunrise
And dreaming just don't make it so

So I've lived without regrets
Wouldn't change a thing and yet
Now and then, wish that I could start again
