Lyrics

Patience

Dare I say no, when you look at me so

Are there no words, I can put there

Half of my heart, knows just what it wants from me

But it's not a democracy in my soul

Strike in the dark for that sulfur glow

Show up the tears, in hiding

Confide in me darling for secrets are rocket fuel

And I know I'd be a fool to let you go

And now I know

Time is no friend of mine, nor his girl

Patience, patience

Confide in me darling for secrets are rocket fuel

And I know I'd be a fool to let you go

And now I know

Time is no friend of mine, nor his girl

Patience, patience

Patience, patience
