Patience Babe Lyrics - Singles - Tilly And The Wall

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 its 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
