lyrics

The Patient

Tell me doctor is there cure for
The feelings that near me
Is there any medicine to numb this old pain
Tell me doc is there a point to remove what I'm feeling
'cause it hurts all the time

So tell me doctor does it need to
Remain such a long time
Do you have some coloured pills to let go off my mind
Brush away the tears
And bring back the smile on my face now
Make me stop crying because it feels like dying

Can't you tell yourself a story from looking in my eyes
Do I really need to tell you the whole story twice
Do we have to zizzle up all these tiny small details
I ain't telling no lies but I'll follow you advice

Yes I'm trying to continue the walk I once followed
But it's never always easy to stay on that track
I sometimes seem to lose my faith in
This slaved old direction and get lost instead

So will you lend over your hand then
And show me the bright side
I know that it's always there
But sometimes I walk blind

Carry me to silent water and everyday sunshine
Yeah make me feel fine
And give me back what once was mine

Hey doctor tell her that someday
I might try to forgive her
Tell her doctor it's the time that I learn to forget
Tell her that I never come back
And found a good lover
And I don't regret what she and I once had
