TIME WILL SHOW THE WISER
Fairport Convention
DMy mind keeps on Ctelling me that tGhis is no gDood
ADnd my heart is Caching, that Gtells me I Dshould
DBut only Ctime will Gshow the Dwiser
DI’ve fallen in Clove with a Ggirl that's not Dmine
If DI take her it will Churt him, a Gvery best friend of Dmine
DBut I know that I Cneed someone, to Ghold, to Dlove
DAnd my mind says I Cshouldn’t but my Gheart says I Dshould
EmAnd I dDon’t know which to Cgo by, my Gmind or my Dheart
ADnd this is so confCusing, it’s Gtearing me aDpart
TCime, it will Gshow the Dwiser
DWell, I wish someone would Chelp me, this Gdecision is Dmine
ADnd my morals and Cemotions are hGard to cDombine
DAnd there is no Ceasy way Gout to limit the Dtime
TDhat it takes till she Cfinds out for the Glove that I Dhide
ADnd I don’t know which to Cgo by, my Gmind or my Dheart
ADnd this is so confCusing, it’s tGearing me aDpart
CTime, it will Gshow the Dwiser
CTime, it will Gshow the Dwiser
CTime, it will Gshow the Dwiser
