Ever so patient
Watching the days disappear
I've danced round the kitchen
But you've danced round the sun for a year
A solar eclipse, just like passing ships
Oh, the longer the wait, well, the better the kiss
As long as you're making it home by the 25th
I've gotten older by 364 days
I've re-arranged all the sofas
And my hair's gotten grey with the wait
My only wish, the taste of your lips
But the more you resist, the better it is
As long as you're making it home by the 25th
A solar eclipse, just like passing ships
Oh, the longer the wait, well, the better it is
As long as you're making it home by the 25th
