[ti:Impatience] [ar:Elvis Costello] [al:North] [offset:500] [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...
