Patience from Patience by Seasonal Birds

I heard a voice on the other end of mine
gone soft and hoarse from crying
it was asking about the end of the line
baby i know you're trying

I want a love that asks why
a love that waits for a better night
Just gentle rain, no tear stains, no decor
I won't ask for more

oh my angel,
I don't know why
when we look at storms
we look 'em in the eye
and the wind can be so cruel

but you and i can take our time
you and I can take our precious time
you and i can take our time

you and i can take our time
you and I can take our precious time
you and i can take our time

-

so if I dont know any good stories
can we write some together
I will learn to weather storms
if you learn to love the weather

whether we right our wrongs
whether or not it rains
i will write you love songs
ontop of coffee stains

on unlined paper
cause I could never get it straight
can we learn to love forgiveness
four hands can hold that weight

so wait
for me my dear
if the way ahead isn't clear
say what do I want for clarity?
I just want you near

cause God knew what he was doing
when he made you
he's not a straight shooter
for once, his aim was true

all these fascinating people
I'd face away from them all
to come find you, and sit with you
and watch paint dry on the wall

I wanna watch time paint
all its outlines on your face
I have given up on elegance
maybe we could shoot for grace

gracefully accepting all
the time that passes by
maybe loving is surrender
maybe I don't need to ask why

and when the crows have landed
on the sides of your eyes
all I'll know is that i made you laugh
a little more than cry

when your hair is the colour
of a rainy sky

you and i will take our time
you and I will take our precious time
You and i will take our time
