Great Big Sea - Time Brings Lyrics

Hearken to me both high and low I'll sing for you a song Of Kings and Queens, and rose-lipped maidens Courting light foot lads Now love is grand, when love is new The heart blood, it runs strong There's nothing a doting lad won't do To keep his princess warm 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-sweet romance CHORUS: 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. But he goes out, with his drinking pals His eyes begin to roam He forgets all about the brown-eyed beauty Who now, sits home alone 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 CHORUS Now all who wish for love to stay And last your whole life through Keep ahead of time me boys And never be untrue CHORUS Great Big Sea Lyrics Time Brings Lyrics
