DISCREET Mar. 16/85 Karl Rigelhof

They say that patience is a virtue
We must all work hard to acquire
There's no way that it can hurt you
Unless you anticipate its desires

They say that time heals all wounds
Forgotten memories numb all pain
Now you're singing a different tune
The past that you remember doesn't seem the same

They say that life is sweet
Then why does my tongue taste so sour
Probably the smell off the street
Would spice the passing of the hours

CHORUS:
Left with/to our own resources
Our energies will deplete
Power consumed at their sources
The cycle is complete
The secret remains discreet
