In the autumn on the ground
Between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and seasons
While a north wind blows throughI watch as lovers pass me by
Walking stories, whos and hows and whys
Musing lazily on love, pondering youIll give it time, give it space
And be still for a spell
When its time to walk that way
We wanna walk it wellIll be waiting for you, baby
Ill be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til were ready
Til its right, love is waitingIts my caution not the cold
Theres no other hand that I would rather hold
The climate changes
Im singing for strangers about youDont keep time, slow the pace
Honey, hold on if you can
The bets are getting surer now
That youre my manIll be waiting for you, baby
Ill be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til were ready
Til its rightI 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 cant force the sun to rise
Or hasten summers start
Neither should I rush my way into your heartIll be waiting for you, baby
Ill be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til were ready
Til its rightIll be waiting for you, baby
Ill be holding back the darkest night
Love is waiting til were ready
Til its right, love is waiting
