The Time Has Told Me lyrics

Time has told me

You're a rare rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled mind.

And time has told me

Not to ask for more

Someday our ocean

Will find it's 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 they 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

'til there's no more to hide.

So leave the ways that are making you 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 troubled mind.

And time has told me

Not to ask for more

For some day our ocean

Will find it's shore.
