《Impatience》歌词

[00:00:00] Impatience - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:09] How long do I have to wait

[00:00:17] Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say

[00:00:25] How long must I hesitate

[00:00:33] I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away

[00:00:41] But if this is how it has to be

[00:00:48] Maybe it's just a feeling

[00:00:50] That I could name

[00:00:51] But I'd probably best blame impatience

[00:01:01] You can't miss - what you've never known

[00:01:10] It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so

[00:01:18] Sometimes - when I am all alone

[00:01:26] I lose my senses

[00:01:28] I have no defences to go

[00:01:34] But if this is how I lose my heart

[00:01:41] Then I shall just embrace that

[00:01:42] My pulse is racing still

[00:01:44] I'm secretly thrilled

[00:01:49] By the laughter that tumbled

[00:01:51] And the tears that I spilled

[00:01:56] As far as I know no one ever got killed

[00:02:00] By impatience

[00:02:34] Tell me - is there danger still

[00:02:42] I took no heed so a word might as well be deed

[00:02:50] Although - I'd really like to see you now

[00:02:58] I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed

[00:03:06] So if this how I'll bide my time

[00:03:13] Then I will set it down

[00:03:15] Til we lose our caution

[00:03:16] I'll honour your order

[00:03:19] 'Cos it's such sweet torture

[00:03:22] To carry this torch

[00:03:27] In the light of temptation

[00:03:29] Beyond conversation and all expectation

[00:03:39] Pausing a moment or two just mention

[00:03:50] Impatience
