Indian Summer

I had given into fall, put all my shirts away
I made my preparations for my hibernation
I made peace with getting cold, kept things so casual
Then in you come, Indian Summer

Oh well I guess that's how this type of thing goes

Slow and steady wins a race
and I'm finally keeping pace
With a desperate athlete's faith
My love, you taught me not to leap
But you caught me talking in my sleep
My best intentions always get the best of me

I've been waiting on you like a bus in the rain
Soaked to the bone but so glad you came

As the lightening lit the room, I never felt so nude
So I pressed my lips against your flesh
to prove myself to you
Because the fact is my past was practice
and each love was a direction on a map that led to

"Oh darlin, I know. That's why I told you hold me close"

Hold me close

Then you looked into my eyes like they were crystal balls
Like they contained all there was to see
and I heard a grown man, tell the kid inside of me
it's time for you to leave

I've been waiting on you like a bus in the rain
soaked to the bone but so glad you came.
