Mark Sandman - Patience lyrics

rate me

I spent all day yesterday watchin the grass grow

What I learned is: the grass really grows slow

Now that I know, there's a reason for me to stay

I wanna wish I never heard you say,

"Have patience, everything will be alright

Have patience, give it just a little time

Everything will be alright."

I've spent half my afternoon sittin at a stop sign

Thinkin about how good you look, even when you're lyin

Then I lost my car in a parking lot

I bought a newspaper and I decided to walk

You said, "Have patience, everything will be alright,

Have patience, give it just a little time

Everything will be alright."

I've spent all day long just listenin to the doorbell ring

Must've been a Sunday, I could hear the choir sing

Down in the graveyard they're listenin to the underground

They're the only ones that ever learned to calm down

Patience, everything will be alright

Have patience, it's really such a beautiful life

Everything will be alright

Everything will be alright

Everything will be a--

Everything will be alright
