Patiently, you slipped away from me It’s not all right, you couldn’t put up no fight But patiently, the well ran dry You needed more water, you needed more But patiently, you slipped away from me Oh god I want you back Oh god I miss you my friend Oh so patiently Patiently, I went home that night And I sat down to write, but I couldn’t think of anything to write that night Patiently, you took it all with you The sun, the moon, the stars I'm nothing without you But patiently, you slipped away from me Oh god we want you back Oh god we miss you our friend Oh so patiently You fell into silence I hate all this silence It's leaving me patient And this patience Has bred such violence Oh I hate all this violence Oh god we miss you our friend But so patiently I will never forget it, as long as I live The feel that went through the bar, you’re not there Pick up the phone, it told me you were gone I wish I was dreaming, but I’m wide-awake And we got to her house, everybody was there Amazes me how you can bring us all together Patience, you leave me here How can you expect me to thrive Patiently, I wait for you There's not life unless you're alive This patience This patience This patience This silence This patience This silence Oh this silence We love you our friend, wait so patiently Oh so patiently Oh so patiently Oh so patiently I’ll give you back Take me back Patiently Patiently Give me back Come on back We know your back Wait for you Wait for you Patiently We wait for you We miss you our friend |
