Time Will Cure Me - Planxty

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.
