you always told me I was patient so patient I will be I'll wake up in the morning and I'll go about my day and I'll stop by to see you on the way home even though you're never there but you always told me I was patient so patient I will be I'll sit here on this mound of dirt for an hour every evening and I'll wait for you to come home I'll wait for your voice to dance across the stones around me like it used to if I listen hard enough sometimes I can hear it but as soon as I turn, it's gone so I'll stare at your name engraved on this slab of granite till the sun goes down and maybe a little longer after that just waiting for you to come home
