Patience Wins

[Verse 1]
I've set myself a target
A place out on the ocean
Where I only answer questions of old friends
Talking doesn't do much good
Same old idle chatter
Think I'll close it down 'til autumn

[Chorus]
So I'll take my chances, she might make advances
I'll just smile, tip my hat, and say g'day
Sit out in the garden, staring at the water, waiting
Wondering if someday, patience wins

[Verse 2]
She's still out there waiting
Anticipating every time I stumble and I fall
But inside there's a fire
Working on the sadness
That covers her each time she looks at me

[Chorus]
So I'll take my chances, she might make advances
I'll just smile, tip my hat, and say g'day
Talk of only good things, both hands on the table, waiting
Slow down and start again, patience wins
Slow down and start again, patience wins

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So I'll take my chances, she might make advances
I'll just smile, tip my hat, and say g'day
Talk of only good things, both hands on the table, waiting
Slow down and start again, patience wins
Slow down and start again, patience wins
