Waiting for the Fire

I need some tenderness
More than a quick caress
I want the very best of you
Don’t push me back again
Let the excuses end
Half-hearted kisses will not do
Just tell it to me straight, my dear
Are all my wishes in vain?
Or is it just a temporary phase?
Your messages are so unclear
I’m standing out in the rain
Waiting for a sign, waiting for the fire to reflame
It seems like yesterday
You would beg me to stay
You couldn’t bear to see me go
Closer than skin to skin
Our souls exchanged within
Now you’re someone I barely know
Just tell it to me straight, my dear
Are all my wishes in vain?
Or is it just a temporary phase?
Your messages are so unclear
I’m standing out in the rain
Waiting for a sign, waiting for the fire to reflame
Yeah, yeah
I cannot hold out too much longer
I’m backin' up but soon I’ll back away
If there’s truly no desire
Spare us the pain
Save us the time
Give me my pride
Just tell it to me straight, my dear
Are all my wishes in vain?
Or is it just a temporary phase?
Your messages are so unclear
I’m standing out in the rain
Waiting for a sign, waiting for the fire to reflame
(Waiting for the fire)
(Waiting for the fire)
(Waiting for the fire)
Save us the time
(Waiting for the fire)
Give me my pride
(Waiting for the fire)
Save us the time
(Waiting for the fire)
Waiting for a sign
(Waiting for the fire)
(Waiting for the fire)
