Lyrics

[00:00.00] Elvis Costello - Impatience
[00:07.12]
[00:09.12] How long do I have to wait?
[00:17.07] Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say
[00:25.30] How long must I hesitate?
[00:33.15] I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away
[00:39.69]
[00:41.49] But if this is how it has to be
[00:48.14] Maybe it's just a feeling
[00:49.45] That I could name
[00:50.81] But I'd probably best blame...impatience
[00:54.45]
[01:01.55] You can't miss - what you've never known
[01:09.83] It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so
[01:17.71] Sometimes - when I am all alone
[01:25.92] I lose my senses
[01:27.53] I have no defences to go
[01:33.12]
[01:34.04] But if this is how I lose my heart
[01:40.85] Then I shall just embrace that
[01:42.11] My pulse is racing still
[01:43.88] I'm secretly thrilled
[01:48.82] By the laughter that tumbled
[01:50.85] And the tears that I spilled
[01:55.82] As far as I know no one ever got killed
[02:00.29] By impatience
[02:02.26]
[02:33.75] Tell me - is there danger still?
[02:41.85] I took no heed so a word might as well be deed
[02:49.97] Although - I'd really like to see you now
[02:58.03] I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed
[03:05.13]
[03:06.05] So, if this how I'll bide my time
[03:12.97] Then I will set it down
[03:14.01] Til we lose our caution
[03:15.91] I'll honour your order
[03:18.32] 'Cos it's such sweet torture
[03:21.10] To carry this torch
[03:24.45]
[03:26.20] In the light of temptation
[03:28.49] Beyond conversation and all expectation
[03:38.42] Pausing a moment or two just mention...
[03:48.95] Impatience
[03:50.98]
