Yours and Mine Lyrics
getting late for decision
what's that waiting about
horses are chomping at the bit
the gate is nearly busted down
moment before the calm of the storm
and everyone's blood goes wild
except yours and mine
how many years has it taken
your restless heart growing old
horses running off on their own
and the stable's burnt to the ground
the longer you wait
your decision will fade
and wind up wasting this time
yours and mine
what's that waiting about
horses are chomping at the bit
the gate is nearly busted down
moment before the calm of the storm
and everyone's blood goes wild
except yours and mine
your restless heart growing old
horses running off on their own
and the stable's burnt to the ground
the longer you wait
your decision will fade
and wind up wasting this time
yours and mine

about wanting to make a baby "yours & mine"
Song is not just about any decision, it\'s about waiting for a wife to decide to have kids. The horses leaving and the burning stable are an allegory for dwindling fertility. This is why the song mentions growing old and why there is references to \'settling down\' (your restless heart growing old, calm of the storm). With this in mind the last part of song ties in nicely, the longer you wait before deciding to have kids, the less meaningful your decision is (less chance of conceiving, ultimately resulting in wasting their time (lives).
this song is about waiting to love someone.
Like the radio man says, it's about waiting for someone to make a decision to enter a relationship. They keep stalling, until the moment is long past and the time spent waiting is wasted. I'm not sure about the 'moment before the calm of the storm' part.
I've always imagined the first verse being spoken by a jockey to his horse, moments before the start of a race. I'm not sure how the second verse would tie into that, though.
