New love and young love have many advocates. The sublime qualities
of long standing passion are less discussed. Willing speaks to the joys
and
pleasures of relationships that last. This is not a song about the
exciting first sparks of passion, but rather, about the intense heat that
only a fire that burns a long time with substantial fuel can produce.
Have a listen.

may not be as
young
may not be as strong
but I’ve never been so willing
may not
be the one
propelled by urgency every moment
darling if we take the
time
savouring the known sublime
you know it will be
thrilling
you know it will be thrilling
privilege the new
it’s
what we’re taught to do
credit where it’s due
is how I want to be
with you
I can trade-in, I can lay-by
taking every chance that comes
by
there might be a few!
I can learn to be a keeper
of the
wilder and the deeper
and embrace the two
yeah
may not be as
young
may not be as strong
but I’ve never been so willing
may not
be the one
propelled by urgency every moment
darling if we take the
time
savouring the known sublime
you know it will be
thrilling
you know it will be thrilling
you know it will be
thrilling
who sets limits to
the ways that I can be with
you
this is bold and true
and we’ve learned a thing or two (about
each other)
there is danger in assuming
that a fire is less
consuming
when it is not new
‘ cause a mutual decision
or
spontaneous ignition
can be passion’s cue
