The Longer You Wait — текст песни (Patty Griffin)

Well I`m tired of this, baby
Ain`t you tired too
We might as well admit
We bit too much to chew
???
Before it`s too late, baby
They say the longer you wait
The tighter shut is the gate

We got nothing much in common
But it`s just as well
Never intertwined
We was just parallel
We just didn`t gel
Let`s dissipate baby
The say the longer you wait
The tighter shut is the gate

Well now I just wanted peace and quiet
I stayed out of trouble
Every time I bit my tongue
My heartache doubled
Now this ain`t as hard to figure
Out as a jigsaw puzzle
I can`t find a reason now
To keep this thing muzzled

Well now my resolve`s been waitin`
For several years straight
It`s not that I won`t miss you
But I just can`t wait to celebrate
And I go wanderin`, baby
They say the longer you wait
The tighter shut is the gate
Tighter shut now
