Time Will Tell

I met her in the Horse and Cart
She offered me her fragile heart
She swore she knew that we'd never part
She didn’t know me well

We thought we'd made our dreams come true
To lead our lives as others do
Well life's a bitch and so were you
I've learnt my lesson well

Time will tell
Oh time will time
Oh time will show you all
I may be mad and I may be drunk
But I've seen it all before
You know you're right you’ve seen the light
But you're heading for a fall
Oh time will tell
Oh yes time will tell
Time will show you all

You think it's' come together now
Your satisfaction knows no bounds
You're chickens have all learned to count and say "I told you so"
Before you know you'll hit the ground
Your fairy-tale will tumble down
There’ll be no one left to paint the town
You're out there on your own

Time will tell
Oh time will time
Oh time will show you all
I may be mad and I may be drunk
But I've seen it all before
You know you're right you’ve seen the light
But you're heading for a fall
Oh time will tell
Oh yes time will tell
Time will show you all

Young Jesus walked among us all
To cleanse the sins that mark our souls
And now were good and happy folk
It said so on TV
All enemies are ostracised
And everyone is satisfied
With justice walking at our side
We know that we are free

Time will tell
Oh time will time
Oh time will show you all
I may be mad and I may be drunk
But I've seen it all before
You know you're right you’ve seen the light
But you're heading for a fall
Oh time will tell
Oh yes time will tell
Time will show you all
