Tilly And The Wall - Patience, Babe lyrics

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 bu*terflies It takes a lifetime to make a pearl that shines From a single grain of hourgla** 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
