Patience, when did you become a stranger?
I hardly know you anymore
Patience, if only we could be together
Won't you come knocking on my door

I want to walk with you again
Even if I have to wait
I just want to walk with you again
Tell me it’s not too late

Patience, there's a shadow in the mirror
It's not who I want to be
Patience, I’ve seen you in my mother
She never lost her faith in me

I want to walk with you again
Even if I have to wait
I just want to walk with you again
Tell me it's not too late

Everything I thought I knew is fading in the sand
There's nothing left to hold on to
Every time I lose my ground and I reach out for your hand
I know no one else can save me now but you

I want to walk with you again
Even if I have to wait
I just want to walk with you again
Tell me it's not too late
Tell me it's not too late
