And time she starts off curious
Claiming she's your friend
In the morning she's an angel
But a devil half past ten
And time she will betray you
As the slow knife takes its turn
And life will streak right past you
While you watch the sunsets burn
And Love is the only strength you find
And Love is the only peace of mind
Love is not your enemy
And time is not your friend
Love is not a good idea
Love is a command
Cause Love is the only wound that heals
And cures you in the end
And Love's the only dream that's real
And Love is knowing Him
And time she makes you cautious
As the eyes that winked now squint
And the bones you've never broken
Still betray you in the end
And time she makes you furious
And time she won't repent
Time, she always makes you change
Then she won't give back a cent
When everything is over
Outside her you will stand
And see the beauty that she be
And that she has and always been
But for now she is a mistress
It's not her nature to forgive
She's the unashamed adulteress
Who swears she'll never quit
The walk it slows
The back it moans
The world it groans
And time goes on
The end is clear
The nigh' draws near
No need to fear
Because all will hear
And Love is the only strength you find
And Love is the only peace of mind
Love is not your enemy
And time is not your friend
Love is not a good idea
Love is a command
Cause Love is the only wound that heals
And cures you in the end
And Love's the only dream that's real
And Love is knowing Him
