Love Is Waiting

in the autumn on the ground,
between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
i am thinking 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
pondering you
i'll give it time,
give it space and be still for a spell
when it's time to walk
that way we wana walk it well

i'll be waiting for you baby
i'll be holding back the darkest night
love is waiting til we're ready,
til 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,
im singing for the strangers about you
dont keep time, slow the pace
honey hold on if you can
the bets are getting 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 til we're ready,
til it's right

i could right 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 til we're ready,
til it's right

love is waiting
