Patiently,
You slipped away from me
It's not alright
you couldn't put up no fight
But patiently,
the well ran dry
You needed more water,
you needed more
But patiently,
you slipped away from me
Oh, God I want you back
Oh, God I miss you my friend,
oh so patiently

Patiently,
I went home that night
and i sat down to write
But I couldnt think of anything to write that night
Patiently, you took it all with you
The sun, the moon, the stars
are nuthin without you
But patiently,
you slipped away
Oh, God we want you back
Oh, God we miss you our friend,
oh so patiently

You fell into silence,
I hate all this silence
It leaves me patient
And this patience has breeded such violence
Oh I hate all this violence
Oh, God we miss you our friend,
but so patiently

I will never forget it,
as long as I live,
the feel that went through the bar,
you're not there
Pick up the phone,
they told me you were gone
I wish I wish I was dreaming,
but im wide awake
When we got to her house,
everybody was there
Amazes me how you can bring us all together
Patience, you leave me here
How can you expect me to thrive?
Patiently, oh I wait fot you
There's not life unless you're alive
This patience, this patience, this patience
is silence
This patience, this silence, oh this silence
We love you our friend, wait so patiently
