Let Me Take My Time - Josh Joffen

You follow lovers with your eyes

across the streets and in the stations

Then you look around at me

You want to know my destination

It isn't hard to read your mind

Will you forgive my hesitation

[Chorus]
And every wall must sometimes fall away
And every dessert blooms when life is kind
Frozen winter yield their rain
Frozen hearts must do the same
If you love me
You'll let me take my time
Let me take my time

Now you and I are veterans
With bitter campaigns to our credit
Where love's so hard to come by
And so hard to lose
You know that life, We've led it
But still we search for something more
Some reason not to give up and forget it

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
You can't argue with a river
It won't hear a word you say
You try reason but it won't hear
what you're thinking
Try to close your fist upon it
Then you feel it slip away
But if you cup your hands
It'll be there for the drinkin'

So let us join hand carefully
And swear to look out for each other
We are old but we are young
There's time to learn and worlds to redisciver
And if it's wrong we'll go our separate ways
And if its right then we'll be lovers

[Repeat Chorus]
