Patience
patience
patience

it does pay
to be patient
any time
any day

patience
patience
patience

it's waiting
waiting
waiting

no, not delay
there will be a proper sun
then you can
put out the hay

patience
patience
patience

you aren't
an emergency patient
line up patiently
for your turn

patience
patience
patience

as you read
my lay*
look not at your watch
don't rush away

patience
patience
patience

don't long
my friend
for my sentence
to end
