Time Brings

1. Hearken to me both high and low

I`ll sing for you a song

Of Kngs and Queens and rose-lipped maidens

Courting light foot lads

2. Now love is grand when love is new

The heart blood it runs stong

There`s nothing a doting lad won`t do

To keep his princess warm

3. He`ll tease her with poems and promises

He`ll ask her out to dance

He`ll cajole and he`ll beg and he`ll always win

In bitter-sweat romance

R: For time it comes and time it goes

It makes the strongest tree to bend

Kings and Queens have no defence

Time brings all things to an end

4. But he goes out with his drinken pals

His eyes bagan to rove

He forgets all about the brown-eyed beauty

Who now sits home alone

5. There`s no more walks down lover`s lane

There`s no more wine in the sun

All that`s left is a hollow pain

Time alas you`ve won

R: For time it comes...

6. Now all who wish for love to stay

And last your whole life through

Keep ahead of time me boys

And never be untrue

R: For time it comes...
