"Patience of Angels" is the first single by Scottish singer/songwriter Eddi Reader released from her eponymous second album (1994). The song was written by Boo Hewerdine.[1] It was released in June 1994 and peaked at number 33 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel wrote, "On the lilting and vibrant "Patience of Angels", she sings about a displaced soul searching for meaning in life amid feelings of anonymity (bottom line: most of us feel this way)."[3]
The promotional video features Reader singing on the top deck of a bus.
