“Time Has Told Me” is a song about ‘going with it’, hoping things will get better with time. And finding someone who isn’t what you had imagined for yourself, but maybe is good for you.
[Verse 1]
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind
[Verse 2]
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn
[Verse 4]
Your tears, they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say
[Verse 5]
And time will tell you
To stay by my side, oh
To keep on trying
'Til there's no more to hide
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 6]
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind
[Verse 7]
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore
