Don't Wait For Me Lyrics

Don't you wait for me
'Cause I'll be running late
Don't you wait for me
By the flowers upon my grave
Don't you wait for me
'Cause I'll be coming home
Don't you wait for me
Long by the telephone

Chorus:

'Cause I'm wild running through the hills
And my eyes are wondering how you feel
And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky
Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Don't you wait for me
I have many miles to go
Don't you wait for me
I have nothing left to show
Don't you wait for me
Wonderin' what is wrong
Don't you wait for me
I'll catch up at the break of dawn

Chorus

Don't you wait for me
Sleepin' in the summer sun
Don't you wait for me
With my pillow lies my gun
Don't you wait for me
I'm gonna finish last
Don't you wait for me
I'm mending fences of my past

Chorus

Don't you wait for me
When the flowers die

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Don't you wait for me 'Cause I'll be running late Don't you wait for me By the flowers FOR my grave Don't you wait for me I WON'T be coming home Don't you wait for me UNPLUG the telephone
