I need some patience tonight
My mind is picking a fight
Good thoughts are starting to slide
There's nowhere left to hide.

I'm reaching out for your touch
You know I want it so much
Distance is dragging me down
I am the circus clown.

I hide my heartache
Behind a painted face
Smile wide and fake it all
Too many lines I must recall.

I need some patience tonight
My mind is picking a fight
Good thoughts are starting to slide
There's nowhere left to hide.

I've got to turn this around
Be grateful for what we found
I'm tired of losing the night
I'm tired of chasing the light.

I need some patience tonight
I need some patience tonight.
