Patience 04:42
VERSE 1 There is a reason that you're here There is a reason that you're not Feeling everything you could If you had the time you would But there are other things to do You know where and with whom While the energy is strong And because it moves you VERSE 2 How did it ever come to be This feeling of uncertainty Where every thought that you think up Is second guessed and that locked up I have different news for you: You are sacred, you are true Pay attention when you find Something moves you CHORUS Patience is a stone - it's tied to a string It's a pendulum inside never questioning When the swinging will be over or what the swinging's for Just allowing you the time to need to find Your way down to the core VERSE 3 I've been to heaven and to hell There's really nothing much to tell Both times you stumble through the gate And you sit there and you wait For something beautiful to come Or pain that makes you come undone But you could be anywhere Cause it's you mind that takes you there

VERSE 1 I heard you coming down the corridor but I wasn't sure if it was you But I started talking, talking like I knew I turned around and there you were dusting off your jeans A sorry sight, but a sight for sore eyes just the same, just the same VERSE 2 I said I can't believe you're still wearing those boots that you had back when I was eighteen and you were nineteen - going on ten You chased me all around that sleepy town like it was your jungle gym But don't you dare shake that balance beam on me again Cause I'm still balancing CHORUS Hold me close, don't ever let me go Cause I've always known if I couldn't be with you I would be alone Hold me close, don't ever let me go Cause I've always known you'd find a way to make it home VERSE 3 I can still hear you laughing at me from your pickup truck When I drove my Mercury onto the beach and I got stuck You pulled me out of that mess alright just like Mike Mulligan And you promised me right there and then you'd pull me out again
