Love Is Waiting

In the autumn on the ground

Between the traffic and the ordinary sound

I am thinkin' signs and seasons, while a north wind blows through

I watch as lovers pass me by

Walking stories, whos and hows and whys

Musing lazily on love, ponderin' you

I'll give it time, give it space, and be still for a spell

When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

I'll be waiting for you, baby

I'll be holdin' back the darkest night

Love is waiting till we're ready

Till it's right

Love is waiting

It's my caution not the cold

There's no other hand that I would rather hold

The climate changes I'm singin' for the strangers about you

Don't keep time, slow the base, honey hold on if you can

The bets are gettin' surer now that you're my man

I'll be waiting for you, baby

I'll be holding back the darkest night

Love is waiting till we're ready

Till it's right

I could write a million songs about the way you say my name

I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again

And like I can't force the sun to rise or hasten summer's start

Neither should I rush my way into your heart

I'll be waiting for you, baby

I'll be holding back the darkest night

Love is waiting till we're ready

Till it's right

I'll be waitin' for you, baby

I'll be holdin' back the darkest night

Love is waiting till we're ready

Till it's right

Love is waiting
