Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1 - Male, Baritone]
You can come just as you are,
but I've wandered way too long and gone too far,
There's a table set for you,
but I'll come around to it when I am through,
Leave the door the way it swings,
but I've got my own two hands and other things,

[Chorus]
Why wait out there in the cold,
I have loved you since before the world was old,
I will stand here while you choose,
but the waiting is the only thing you lose.

[Verse 2]
I have counted every tear,
but I never see the proof when you appear,
I have saved the better wine,
but I'm doing fine alone and I've got time,
You don't have to clean a thing,
but I'd want to be deserving of the ring,

[Chorus]
Why wait out there in the cold,
I have loved you since before the world was old,
I will stand here while you choose,
but the waiting is the only thing you lose.

[Bridge]

[Bridge]
I have never once let go,
I have walked behind you down each road you know,
There's still water where I stand,
and I'll lead you through the valley by the hand,
I left ninety-nine to roam,
and I crossed the dark to carry just one home.
[Chorus]
Why wait out there in the cold,
I have loved you since before the world was old,
I will stand here while you choose,
but the waiting is the only thing you lose.

[Outro - building, then warm]
Now I'm reaching for the latch,
and there's nothing left to bolt or bar or catch,
Why wait out there in the cold—
I have loved you since before the world was old.
