Kelly Willis - Time Has Told Me lyrics

(Nick Drake)

Time has told me

You're a rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled 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 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

Repeat verses 1 and 2
