Why won't the earth stop turning
why is time slipping away
I was certain that you'd come for me
on a balmy August day

Coffee and endless sunrise
on this hope I had hold
that I would see your smiling face
when the leaves turned red and gold

Bundle up for winter winds
but fill my heart with song
I thought you'd knock upon my door
when the nights were dark and long

Another seasons come too fast
as I look down the lane
I was sure that you'd come for me
before the springtimes rain

As spring folds into summer
and summer into fall
I dare not whisper to my heart
'he may not come at all'
