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 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
'Till 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 its shore
