Time has told me

"TIME HAS TOLD ME
YOU ‘RE A RARE RARE FIND
A TROUBLED CURE
FOR A SENTIMENTAL MIND

AND TIME HAS TOLD ME
NOT TO ASK FOR MORE
SOMEDAY OUR OCEAN
WILL FIND ITS SHORE

SO I’LL LEAVE THE WAYS THAT ARE MAKING ME BE
WHAT I REALLY DON’T WANT TO BE
LEAVE THE WAYS THAT ARE MAKING ME LOVE
WHAT I REALLY DON’T WANT TO LOVE

TIME HAS TOLD ME
YOU CAME WITH THE DAWN
A SOUL WITH NO FOOTPRINT
A ROSE WITH NO THORN

YOUR TEARS WILL TELL ME
THERE’S REALLY NO WAY
OF ENDING YOUR TROUBLES
WITH THINGS YOU CAN SAY

AND TIME WILL TELL YOU
TO STAY BY MY SIDE
TO KEEP ON TRYING
TILL THERE’S NO MORE TO HIDE

SO LEAVE THE WAYS THAT ARE MAKING YOU TO BE
WHAT YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO BE
LEAVE THE WAYS THAT ARE MAKING YOU LOVE
WHAT YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO LOVE

TIME HAS TOLD ME
YOU ‘RE A RARE RARE FIND
A TROUBLED CURE
FOR A COMPLEX MIND

AND TIME HAS TOLD ME
NOT TO ASK FOR MORE
SOMEDAY OUR OCEAN
WILL FIND ITS SHORE

AND TO FEEL DRUNK IN A VERY LOVELY WAY
FOR JUST MAKING LOVE ALL TROUGH THE DAY"
