A country 'which way will it go?' song...
hope
relationship
uncertainty
Story behind the song
The 'will she, won't she' lyric led naturally to a country arrangement.

There's a silence to the evening as the stars come out to make their quiet show
You're beautiful inscrutable illuminated by the fire's glow
Senses seem heightened as the sky slips to black from blue
There's an aura of innocence surprising after all that you've been through
My throat seems to tighten as I contemplate the right words to choose
There's so much I could win but equally there's so much I could lose
Your eyes are fixed on empty air are you really unaware I'm choking
On the words to make you think, bring you back now from the brink no joking
FEm Am G G7C
FEm Am Fb5 F Fb5 F (B/C hammer .. maybe as intro too)
We're on the cusp, at the fork in the road
Are we on the up, or just pausing till my hopes implode
On the cusp, where the paths divide
Waiting for the moment when you decide
I'm watching for a signal should I make a move or leave it up to you
Hoping for a chance to slip past your defences let my love show through
Is it just the firelight or emotion that brings colour to your face
Hoping it's the right time and for once in my life I'm in the right place
