We’re just starting out
But we’ve taken a step in
You blush at my mention
Of a weakness we share
It makes us special because
It keeps us safe
So you move closer
Sit by me to show me
How to see inside
You turn your face to mine
Your kind eyes exploring mine
You angle toward me
A soft kindness spreading
My heart’s up for the taking
And your shoulder’s open
But I do not rest yet
At the station sitting on this bench
We’re here waiting arm to arm
After the train comes and we go
I want to step out arm in arm
Then together we’ll venture into new land
We’ll discover in each other a bond we share
With the train’s arrival, love comes out
Then we get on board.
It’s Love’s arrival at our gate.
Love’s arriving at our gate.
We’re at love’s gates
We came separately
But we’re both here
Sitting out the delay
I comment on you
And you keep me entertained
We tell stories
From magazines of ourselves
Casually flipping colored pages
Before settling in for a show
We watch lives unfold
As we wonder what’s next
As the train approaches
People mistake our first encounter
For love growing
They see a tenderness in us
And a potential between us
I’ll see you off, and I’ll wait
At the station sitting on this bench
We’re here waiting arm to arm
After the train comes and we go
I want to step out arm in arm
Then together we’ll venture into new land
We’ll discover in each other a bond we share
With the train’s arrival, love comes out
Then we get on board.
It’s Love’s arrival at our gate.
Love’s arriving at our gate.
We’re at love’s gates
My head leans close
But just above you
You shift yourself lower
To make it possible
For us to adjust
A contact seeming soon
I look up into your eyes
And you look into mine
As we check the excitement
Of what we see out the window
You like my laugh
And smile when I like your cars
So we travel together
Figuring out our plan
For after the train stops
And we step down the stairs
At the station sitting on this bench
We’re here waiting arm to arm
After the train comes and we go
I want to step out arm in arm
Then together we’ll venture into new land
We’ll discover in each other a bond we share
With the train’s arrival, love comes out
Then we get on board.
It’s Love’s arrival at our gate.
Love’s arriving at our gate.
We’re at love’s gates.
This time we’ve arrived together
You step down and turn around
You look back at me
To show me your hand
I place mine in yours and follow
Our thumbs lock us in motion
As we emerge at love’s gate
