Patient Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am, I am a patient man
I can wait, I can wait, I can wait
Till I understand
Why my life don't make sense
Why my job's on the fence
Why the days fly on by
And I don't really know why
I do what I do
Thank God I love you and
I am a patient man
These days I yearn to fly so free
That only the angels and eagles
Are able to follow me
I'm so far from the sun
And there's work to be done
But I find my faith
In the smile on your face
And that gets me through
Thank God I love you
And I am a patient man
I am a patient man
I am a patient man
No one goes it alone
Every heart needs a home
When my spirit of hope runs dry
You are, you are a deeper well
I could taste I could touch
I could drink till the last star fell
When the icy winds blow
When I'm thirsty and cold
When my dreams wanna die
And my heart wants to cry
Cause nothing seems true,
Thank God I love you
And I am a patient man
I am a patient man
I am a patient man
No one goes it alone
Every heart needs a home
When my spirit of hope runs dry
I am, I am a patient man
I am, I am a patient man
Yeah a patient man
