Patience Darling, Patience

The last time this happened I became who I am (Oh no)
We cannot risk the same happening again (That's so)
So we must be patient despite provocation (You'll go)
You'll go where you will and I'll ponder starvation

If you felt like I feel you'd be writing out your will
And practicing the art of staying perfectly still

So patience darling, patience
Though you feel you might collapse
I am growing you a garden
You are drawing me a map

And if I felt like you feel I'd be skeptical at best
Knowing what I'd know about how I am with tests

So patience darling, patience (Thе last time this happened)
Though you feel you might collapsе (I became who I am)
I am growing you a garden (We cannot risk the same)
You are drawing me a map (Happening again)

So patience darling, patience (So we must be patient)
Though you feel you might collapse (Despite provocation)
I am growing you a garden (You'll go where you will)
You are drawing me a map (And I'll ponder starvation)

[Fading out]
So patience darling, patience (The last time this happened)
Though you feel you might collapse (I became who I am)
I am growing you a garden ... (We cannot risk ...)
