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
