[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: John Gourley]
I was born in 1989
All we could do
No shakes or coughs or burst relief
Or lists of all our things
Just minutes making minds
I was born in 1989
All we could do
But the making never made
The comers never came
But I still felt that awful news
[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
[Verse 2: John Gourley]
I was born in 1989
And it'll be over soon
No moon children or people's sun
No ringing in my ears
When I still felt that awful news
[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
(If our hearts would ever come around)
[Bridge: John Gourley, Gang Vocals & Zoe Manville]
I was born in 1989
All we could do
Not in birth or body
Only in our minds, in our minds
Not in birth or body
And I... I still felt that awful news
[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
(If our hearts would ever come around)
