Learning How to Wait

Drop

Feel it rise feel it rise

Let it go let it go

Verse 1

Bronze bells ringing somewhere far

I keep walking past the river bend

Every gong a tiny star

Falling slow and never end

My hands are cold my lungs are clear

Somewhere bells are calling me back here

Pre-Chorus

Hold the moment hold the tide

Hold the morning by my side

Chorus

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Nothing gold has ever stayed

I am learning how to wait

Learning how to wait

Drop

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Learning how to wait

Verse 2

Gamelan inside my chest

Beats a pattern I forgot

Rain on metal never rests

I am warmer than I thought

Softly now the gongs reply

Teaching me to let things lie

Pre-Chorus

Hold the moment hold the tide

Hold the morning by my side

Chorus

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Nothing gold has ever stayed

I am learning how to wait

Learning how to wait

Drop

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Learning how to wait

Bridge

Slowly slowly

Let the sound go

Lowly lowly

Let the sound go

I am open I am light

I am open I am light

Chorus

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Nothing gold has ever stayed

I am learning how to wait

Learning how to wait

Drop

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Learning how to wait

Nothing gold has ever stayed

Learning how to wait
