Twenty dollars in my wallet
Got nowhere to go but home
Hear your voice close in around me
Through the letters that you wrote

Wrote a song, called it 'Patience'
You're in every thought I hold
Wait beside a one-way ticket
To see if love is as strong to hold

I stand with my heart out
'Cause I've always wondered
If you won't say 'No, dear'
When I call out your name
To sing with me

Walk along a crooked highway
'Cause I don't have the strength I show
See you every night beside me
Through your letters, through my hope

But I sit here in my sorrow
Will you wait until tomorrow
When I call and say
'I'm at your door'?

I stand with my heart out
'Cause I've always wondered
If you won't say 'No, dear'
When I call out your name
To sing with me
