Patience, Babe

Young woman, her mother's only child

Artificial love bloomed, you became silk flowers

When nothing grew from what was never alive

You made diamond teardrops fall out of crocodile eyes

Did she pull you down?

Did that bring you down?

Don't let it all get you so far down

And let me tell you what old wives say

They say patience will heal your pain

And let me tell you what a wise man said

Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves

Something so lovely in it's old demise

Like golden amber holds butterflies

It takes a lifetime to make a pearl that shines

From a single grain of hourglass time

Was it hard to wait?

Was it worth your wait?

Baby we'll make it worth our wait

And let me tell you what old wives say

They say patience will heal your pain

And let me tell you what a wise man said

Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves

Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves
