Young woman, her mother's only child   Artificial love bloomed, you became silk flowers   When nothing grew from what was never alive   You made diamond teardrops fall out of crocodile eyes   Did she pull you down?   Did that bring you down?   Don't let it all get you so far down   Now let me tell you what a wise man said   They say patience will heal your pain   And let me tell you what a wise man said   Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves      Something so lovely in its old demise   Like golden amber holds butterflies   It takes a lifetime to make a pearl that shines   From a single grain of hourglass time   Is it hard to wait?   Is it worth your wait?   Baby we'll make it worth our wait   And let me tell you what old wives say   They say patience will heal your pain   And let me tell you what a wise man said   Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves   Oh you'll get broke down, but patience saves
