PATCHES
by WILLIAM THOMAS KINSEY
UP ALL NIGHT AND WORKING HARD
REPAIRS ARE UNDER WAY
I'M PATCHING UP A BROKEN HEART
OR TRYING TO FIND A WAY
THIS ONE'S BEEN AROUND A WHILE
IT NEEDS TENDER LOVING CARE
IT'S BEEN BROKEN MORE THAN ONCE
THERE ARE PATCHES EVERYWHERE
IT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE
WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START
PUTTING PATCHES OVER PATCHES
TO MEND A BROKEN HEART
ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT
IT SHOULDN'T TAKE SO LONG
FIRST YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT
TO FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG
THERE, THE LAST PATCH SET IN PLACE
BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE
I ONLY HOPE IT LASTS A WHILE
FOR THIS HEART BELONGS TO ME
