Til Kingdom Come Lyrics

I think this song is beguiling.

I interpret this song as an enormous, emotionally bursting love for someone that can barely be expressed with only words. This person is saying that he will wait, 'til kingdom come' until 'my day is done.' showing an unfaltering passion.

'For you I've waited all these years.'

He also says to 'just say you'll wait', 'for me' over and over. Just wait for me. That's all he wants in return; for this love to be reciprocated. I believe this is because a relationship, or when there's any other sense of passion between two people, being told that we will be waited for is a huge sense of affection, love and even respect. As humans if someone tells us they will wait for us, it immediately brings a sense of happiness and devotion for that person. The song takes that mentality to the level of love and relationships. The person in the song believes that if someone tells them they will wait for him, that's about as happy as he can be.

"For you i'd wait til kingdom come." "Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me."
