歌词

[00:09.14] How long do I have to wait?
[00:15.27]
[00:17.08] Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say
[00:22.60]
[00:25.47] How long must I hesitate?
[00:31.60]
[00:33.35] I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away
[00:39.10]
[00:41.78] But if this is how it has to be
[00:47.63]
[00:48.38] Maybe it's just a feeling
[00:50.13] That I could name
[00:51.57] But I'd probably best blame...impatience
[00:54.82]
[01:01.82] You can't miss - what you've never known
[01:07.99]
[01:10.18] It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so
[01:15.24]
[01:18.18] Sometimes - when I am all alone
[01:24.37]
[01:26.43] I lose my senses
[01:28.25] I have no defences to go
[01:32.16]
[01:34.60] But if this is how I lose my heart
[01:40.31]
[01:41.24] Then I shall just embrace that
[01:42.83] My pulse is racing still
[01:44.71] I'm secretly thrilled
[01:46.46]
[01:49.52] By the laughter that tumbled
[01:51.46] And the tears that I spilled
[01:53.96]
[01:56.84] As far as I know no one ever got killed
[02:00.96] By impatience
[02:02.34]
[02:34.53] Tell me - is there danger still?
[02:40.65]
[02:42.71] I took no heed so a word might as well be deed
[02:48.62]
[02:50.87] Although - I'd really like to see you now
[02:56.77]
[02:58.96] I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed
[03:04.43]
[03:06.99] So, if this how I'll bide my time
[03:12.10]
[03:13.73] Then I will set it down
[03:15.23] Til we lose our caution
[03:16.91] I'll honour your order
[03:19.04]
[03:19.60] 'Cos it's such sweet torture
[03:21.35]
[03:22.10] To carry this torch
[03:24.04]
[03:27.17] In the light of temptation
[03:29.54] Beyond conversation and all expectation
[03:37.66]
[03:39.73] Pausing a moment or two just mention...
[03:47.79]
[03:50.04] Impatience
