Rufus Wainwright - Patience Is a Virtue lyrics

[Rufus Wainwright - Patience Is a Virtue lyrics]

Patience is a virtue
I will name you after patience
Wanting to be there but being able to wait

Patience is a baby
That I'd really love to give you
So he can take care
'Stead of stayin' out late

I wake up in the mornin'
Take my tea or coffee
Look at the world out the window
Listenin' to church bells

Weddin's funerals
Hell of a sound want you around

Could this be the answer
Answer to all my confessions
Are you the difference
Between glitter and tears

Or is there still no reason
And I am once more mistaken
Puttin' all my emotions into porcelain ears

I wake up in the mornin'
Take my tea or coffee
Look at the world out the window
Listening to church bells prayin' for you
Down on my knees what do I do

Patience is a virtue
I will name you after patience
Patience is a baby
That I'd really love to give you

Blame it on black steeples
And listenin' to church bells ringin'
Or watchin' the people passin' me by
Weddings and funerals passin' me by

Doooooooo doo doo doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoodoo
Doo doo doo doo doo doooo
Doo doo doo doo doo doooo doodoooo doodoooo
Doooo doooo doodoodoodoooooooo
Doodoodoodoooooooo
