So a crowd has gathered round us
I'm pining one last kiss
Struggling with this lifeline
In the shadow of this bliss
Patience, my love
Patience, my love
It'll all be all right
Ain't it funny how the fates work
I feel cheated by the turn
But this love, it hovers over us
And the lessons that we've learned
Patience, my love
Patience, my love
With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on
Oh, hold on
We were lost inside a wasteland
Of fools groping for the gold
I wonder if they'll think of us
While they're searching for their souls
Patience, my love
Patience, my love
With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on
May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you
So never put it out, my love
The spirit is the flame that burns within
Hold on to it, it'll all work out fine
Sleep now is descending like a dream
Still I'm shaking from the softness of your skin
Hold on to me, love, and make it all feel all right
With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on
May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you
With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory
And move on
Sweet lover, go on
Sweet lover, go on
Oh, love, be strong
