My Brooke Fraser series

It's amazing to think we listen to music, time and time again, and never really listen to the words. I've experienced this phenomena just in the last week.

I'm totally in awe of Brooke Fraser, she is super talented - and I've been listening to her 'Albertine' album for quite awhile now. The other night I heard the words of her song 'Love is Waiting' and it just totally spoke to me. Not sure if it's because I needed to hear it or if the light bulb just turned on but seriously, powerful, powerful words. So I begin my journey of Brooke Fraser's music and just how inspiring she is =).

Love is Waiting
In the autumn on the ground, between the traffic and the ordinary sounds
I am thinking signs and season 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 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
