The Patience Business

Been a long time, been a very long time

Been a very long time indeed

Here a long time it's too long a time

My ears will start to bleed

She keeps me waiting here

She keeps me waiting here

Sitting on my hands to stop myself exploding (Yeah)

I can't get used to this patience business (No)

The seconds grab the minutes say "Where are we being led"

I'm going to have to pinch myself, am I alive or dead

Don't keep me waiting here

Don't keep me waiting here

Sitting on my hands to stop myself exploding (Yeah)

I can't get used to this patience business (No)

No.. No..

Cause I've been waiting all alone for you to come

I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak

It said "at the tone you will be"

Very much alone

Been a long time been a very long time

He also serves who waits

Been a long time (it's too long a time)

Meet you at heaven's gates

Sitting on my hands to stop myself exploding (Yeah)

I can't get used to this patience business (No)
