Patient Love lyrics

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket

I’m not gonna roll it no I’m not gonna smoke it

Til we’re staring at the stars and the rockets

Twinkling in the silvery night

Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I’m not gonna drink them

I swear I’ll make it last

'Til we’re drinking out of the same glass again

And though the sand may be washed by the sea

And the old will be lost in the new

Well four will not wait for three

For three never waited for two

And though you will not wait for me

I’ll wait for you

Got a polaroid picture in my wallet

I’m not going to tear it no I’m not gonna spoil it

It’s an unspoken heartbreak

A heartbroken handshake I’ll take with me where I go

And three words on the tip of my tongue

Not to be spoken nor sung

Or whispered to anyone

Til I scream them at the top of my lungs again

And though the sand may be washed by the sea

And the old will be lost in the new

Well four will not wait for three

For three never waited for two

And though you will not wait for me

I’ll wait for you

I’ll wait for you

And I’ll wait for you

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket

I’m not gonna roll it no I’m not gonna smoke it

Til we’re staring at the stars and the rockets

Twinkling in the silvery night
