Practice In Patience

The Parlor Mob

Tell me your secrets
 And I'll know you well
 Show me the weakness
 You're eager to sell
 While the light in the ocean
 From the moon on the shore
 Gives me the notion that I want you more

 If we're in love
 That's what we'll say
 Before it's forgotten or taken away
 It's a rolling die, it's a gentle rain
 It's a practice in patience, a partner in pain
 We've got a lot to lose if we're in love

 I dream in illusion
 And all shades of blue
 And I wake in confusion so scattered with you

 If we're in love
 That's what we'll say
 Before it's forgotten or taken away
 It's a rolling die, it's a gentle rain
 It's a practice in patience, a partner in pain
 We've got a lot to lose if we're in love

 I'm caught between holding on and pulling away
 But at the end of the day
 I've got this feeling I can't shake
 I've seen the other side of giving up
 But never gave enough to know

 If we're in love
 That's what we'll say
 Before it's forgotten or taken away
 It's a rolling die, it's a gentle rain
 It's a practice in patience, a partner in pain

 If we're in love
 That's what we'll say
 Before it's forgotten or taken away
 We've got a lot to lose if we're in love
