[this song has only been performed live]



well patiently you slipped away from me

i want that day back, i want that day back

but so patiently i went home that night

and i sat down to write

but i couldn't think of anything to write that night



i said but patiently you just went away

oh god i want you back

oh god i miss you my friend

oh so patiently



oh so patiently you slipped away that day

i never got the chance to say you're my boy

patiently i never got to say

i miss those times, oh i do



patiently you went away that night

and i just sat and sighed

oh god i miss you my friend

oh so patiently



all this silence turns to patience

and this patience has returned to silence

all this silence has turned to patience

oh so patiently



you touched us, you left us with silence

when you were here, there never was silence

you slipped away that day into silence

but i can't for the life of me figure out why



that day fell too silence

when you were with us

there wasn't a moment of silence

and this silence has turned to patience

and this patience has returned to silence



but oh so patiently you slipped away from me

oh god i want you back

oh god i miss you my friend

oh so patiently
