Lyrics

I’m headed down this long, long road,
To where your love and my heart call home.
A quiet village, a distant land,
A promise made, a waiting man.

Your scent will linger on the bed,
Where dreams of you fill up my head.
But there's a line I cannot cross,
Though my heart’s consumed with all it’s lost.

So close, yet so far, you’re just out of reach,
Behind that door, I fight the need.
I’ll hold my tears, I’ll take my time,
For patience, girl, will make you mine.

Oh, fire and love, we walk the wire,
Two hearts that burn with untamed fire.
I’ll wait for you, I’ll take the test,
‘Til the day I hold you to my chest.

Your dark brown eyes, they see me whole,
A thousand words I’ll never show.
Your parents' house, a quiet night,
The longest wait for love so right.

I lay where you had just been near,
And taste the air, I hold you here.
But love is patient, strong, and true,
And I’ll hold back, ‘til I’ve got you.

So close, yet so far, you’re just out of reach,
Behind that door, I fight the need.
I’ll hold my tears, I’ll take my time,
For patience, girl, will make you mine.

Oh, fire and love, we walk the wire,
Two hearts that burn with untamed fire.
I’ll wait for you, I’ll take the test,
‘Til the day I hold you to my chest.

And when the day comes, we’ll stand hand in hand,
With vows to seal what time began.
The guests will leave, the night will fall,
And love will answer every call.

No more doors, no more goodbyes,
Just your love beneath my skies.
Girl, the wait will all be worth,
The sweetest love on God’s good earth.

So close, yet so far, you’re just out of reach,
Behind that door, I fight the need.
I’ll hold my tears, I’ll take my time,
For patience, girl, will make you mine.

Oh, fire and love, we walk the wire,
Two hearts that burn with untamed fire.
I’ll wait for you, I’ll take the test,
‘Til the day I hold you to my chest.

One more night, and I’ll be strong,
‘Cause girl, this love’s where I belong.

Patience now, the wait’s near done,
The night will come… when we’re as one.
