Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Patient song lyrics )
PATIENCE
Copyright © 2006 - MickTerry.com

The hourglass is ticking. Each grain of sand falls down
until they all pass through that hole in time.
The hour hand is static as the second hand sweeps 'round
and the minutes barely move one step behind.

    PATIENCE is a virtue, so the pundits say.
    There'd be a lot more PATIENCE
    if time didn't get in the way.
    PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE.
    Let's get on with it.
    If you don't hurry up & be patient,
    I'm going to throw a hissy fit.

The digits change their numbers from zero up through ten
and then repeat the cycle on and on.
No matter how we track it, it's counted back again,
'though each moment that has past is always gone.

    CHORUS

        I'm tired of waiting for you to be patient.
        I'm tired of trying to keep up with you.
        If you took just a moment to breathe,
        I might feel just a bit more relieved.
        I'm tired of waiting to see what you're going to do.

The years have passed so quickly & still you're still with me.
It seems like only months ago we met.
& still it's the same answer when you're asked to marry me:
You're not ready to be saying "yes"... yet.

    CHORUS

To other time song lyrics:   TURNING OLD
UNDER A ROCK
THE OTHER WAY
IN THE YEAR 2012
FILLING THE TUB
DRIVE THIS SLOW
LIFE'S TOO SHORT
EXCUSES, EXCUSES
LATE FOR HIS OWN LIFE
PEOPLE THINK I'M HORNY
WHY WAIT? PROCRASTINATE
WHEELCHAIR IN SAN FRANCISCO
DOES SHE KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING?
To the TOP
