Time Has Told Me

Written by nick drake

Recorded by elton john, but unreleased



Time has told me

You're a rare rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled mind



And time has told me

Not to ask for more

Someday our ocean

Will find its shore





So i'll leave the ways that are making me be

What i really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making me love

What i really don't want to love





Time has told me

You came with the dawn

A soul with no footprint

A rose with no thorn





Your tears they tell me

There's really no way

Of ending your troubles

With things you can say





And time will tell you

To stay by my side

To keep on trying

'till there's no more to hide





So leave the ways that are making you be

What you really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making you love

What you really don't want to love





Time has told me

You're a rare rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled mind





And time has told me

Not to ask for more

For some day our ocean

Will find its shore
