Lover, please be patient We got so much time ahead To plant your roses where they can grow And build a place you can call home Because I know we're gonna remember The dust we wiped off this floor And the candles that lit up our small room And the blooming we waited for But I will walk through the streets of this town A child that hangs to your gowns wherever you might go And I'll cross these soaking wet streets, you know The ocean floods through our shore and I'll drown Lover, please be quiet We got so many wars ahead We spent our days building promises That we never made And now I know that outside my window Well, there's not such a great view But what you see is way more than you think When it brings me next to you And I will walk through the streets of this town A child that hangs to your gowns wherever you might go And we'll cross the soaking wet streets we know The ocean floods through our shore and we'll drown
