Light Treason - Seattle, Be Patient Lyrics

There is a love up north
Lush and green so sally forth
I've been waiting all my life
While you would rather twist the knife
Waiting is done, I have to go
While you would rather I slit my throat
Just to see what love comes out
As if there was really any doubt

Seattle, be patient with me
Seattle, please wait for me
I don't know how long it'll be
Seattle, we will see

You are well read but looking ill
Your porcelain skin standing still
You know things and I know mine
But I would rather save the time
Who do you have looking for you?
You are sad, one and one makes two
My Father disappears
Oh, lucky girl that is clear

I am a big man for this town
But down south I would surely drown
I can't dress up for you now
Those clothes would muffle the sound
How can you ask for me to stay
And then so quickly push me away?
You would have me up on your wall
Oh, tenderness I do recall

Waiting is done, I have to go
Bid farewell to the old chateau
I would travel all my years
And I know we are scared right here
Still, you are my biggest fear
