Patience might be best taught by a traffic light at night. Although nothing may stand in your way, you're not permitted to go until the green light says the time's right. In the song, I apply this particular phenomenon to love. Just substitute the green traffic arrow for Cupid's pink projectile and you've got a similar situation.
lyrics
Once nightly,
Exciting.
And now lately,
I’m waiting—
I’m waiting for the arrow,
Quiver and bow,
Quiver and bow,
Become green and go,
I think you know,
I think you know.
Late night
Late night left turn
Out of the darkness
Into lanes of light
And rings of string
That ties us tight
And bound for life
And you’re ready,
Already.
And I’m sorry,
I’m tardy—
I’m hardly half human,
But I'm a fan
Oh, I'm a fan...
I’ll do what I can,
Without a plan,
Without a plan.
Late night
Late night left turn
Out of the darkness
Into lanes of light
And rings of string
That ties us tight
And bound for life
Why not
Tie knot
Now you’re closer
Now you're near
We've come so far
What's this fear?
This lovely
Discovery
Of bubbly
Feelings doubly.
We'll really proclaim it bold
Before we're old,
Let all behold
Our heat never cold,
Let all behold
Before we're old.
Late night
Late night left turn
Out of the darkness
Into lanes of light
And rings of string
That ties us tight
And bound for life
Why not
Tie knot
Now that you’re closer
Now that you're nearer
We've come so far
What need have we for fear?
None
I'm done
Pretendin'
That you and I
Aren't kissin'!
Hey there Hun,
I'm done
Pretendin'
That you,
You and I
Aren't kissin'!
Hey there Hun,
I'm done
Pretendin'
That you,
You and I
Are not kissing.
