Lyrics Time Will Cure Me - Planxty

Time Will Cure Me

Lonely the life that once I led
Strange the paths on which we tread.
Led me to you, and lightly but true
As ever, girl, clouding my view.
Rainy the day the first time we met
Deep was the talk as we lay on your bed
It didn’t seem wrong to sing a sad song
As ever, girl, soon you’d be gone.
Early the morning and sad the goodbye
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye
So lately did meet, no sooner to part
As ever, girl, homeward must start
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand
Reading between them to misunderstand
I made a mistake you said not to make
Yes, reading your letters conviction did grow
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go It’s hard to believe I could be so naive
As ever, girl, flattered but to deceive
And now you’ve just told me that friendship is all
I’m forced to repair the breach in my wall
Illusions and dreams as usual, it seems
As ever, girl, they have been my downfall.
Lonely the life and dismal the view
Closed is the road that leads to you
Since better can’t be, as friends we’ll agree
As ever, girl, time will cure me.
