Patience Darling, Patience

Last time this happened
 I became who I am (Oh no)
 He cannot risk the same
 Happening again (And so)
 He must be patient
 Despite provocation
 (You'll go) where you will
 And I'll ponder starvation
 And if you felt like I feel
 You'd be writing out your will
 And practising the art
 Of staying perfectly still
 So patience,
 Darling, patience,
 Though you feel you might collapse.
 I am growing,
 You are guarding,
 You are drawing me a map.
 And if I felt like you feel,
 I'd be skeptical at best,
 Knowing what I know
 About how I am with tests.
 So patience, (Last time)
 Darling, patience, (This happened)
 Though you feel you might collapse. (My feet came flying.)
 I am growing, (We can)
 You are guarding, (All witness)
 You are drawing me a map. (The same happening again.)
 So patience, (We must)
 Darling, patience, (Be patient)
 Though you feel you might collapse. (Despite provocation.)
 I am growing, (Go where)
 You are guarding, (You will)
 You are drawing me a map. (And I'll ponder starvation.)
