The Tailor in Heaven

00:17:18 :: 00:18:01

Wait a bit, soldier,
in Waitawhile. Wait
a bit, sinner, til
angels try. Judgement
is swift and Mercy
long. So wait a bit,
child, in Waitawhile.
Sigh for injustice
in Waitawhile. Sigh
for your sinning til
angels try. Judgement
is swift and Penance
long. Sigh for a bit,
child, in Waitawhile.
Carry the babies,
wash their clothes, mend what
is torn, scrub what is
worn. Teach them to pray
their sins away that
they’ll avoid this place:
Waitawhile. Pray for
the sinners, love when
they hate, mend what is
broken til all is
forgiven. Show them
the way of giving
today what they’ll soon
give in Waitawhile.
Watch as the saints go
gently by. Watch as
the gates take them on
high. Meanwhile, we sit
and wait a bit. Wait
a bit singing in
Waitawhile. Sit with
friends in Waitawhile.
Seek your amends in
Waitawhile. Too good
for hell, we’re waiting
until we’ve done our
time in Waitawhile.
Too good for hell, we’re
praying until we’re
done with Waitawhile.
