Practice in Patience - The Parlor Mob

Tell me your secrets

And I’ll know you well

Show me the weakness

You’re eager to sell

While the light in the ocean

From the moon on the shore

Gives me the notion that I want you more

If we’re in love

That’s what we’ll say

Before it’s forgotten or taken away

It’s a rolling die, it’s a gentle rain

It’s a practice in patience, a partner in pain

We’ve got a lot to lose if we’re in love

I dream in illusion

And all shades of blue

And I wake in confusion so scattered with you

I’m caught between holding on and pulling away

But at the end of the day

I’ve got this feeling I can’t shake

I’ve seen the other side of giving up

But never gave enough to know
