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 wanna walk it well

[Chorus]

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, I'm singing for the strangers about you

Don't keep time, slow the pace

Honey hold on if you can

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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

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
