Only Time Will Tell
Words & music by Frances Livings © 2013
Will your raving hunger
one day for me be stilled
sodden soil, saturated
will our love then fail?
When will I start hovering
and watch you in your sleep?
Seeking, and not slumbering
on the shores of your soul
When will we have spoken
our last words of farewell
I don’t know, I really don’t know
I suppose, only time will tell
When will you turn against me
like wind that blows from the East
no breeze, soft and playfully
but gusts, cold and spitefully
And when will I know
that it’s your very last kiss
passion-drained and absent-mindedly
placed upon my lips
When will we have spoken
our last words of farewell?
I don’t know, I really don’t know
I suppose, only time will tell
When will we have spoken
our last words of farewell?
I don’t know, I really don’t know
I suppose, only time will tell
I don’t know, I really don’t know
I suppose, only time will tell
Only time will tell
