Nothing but Time Songtext
von Blue Six

You′re lookin' for perfection
I can see it in your eyes
It′s a shameful misconception, baby
I got nothin' but time
It's cynical and unkind
To say that we are blind
You′ve been critical of both our lives
Just open your eyes

Didn′t I do what you wanted?
Didn't I do, ooh, give it to you?
Those things you needed, didn′t I do?


Rememberin' those first nights
We were dreamin′ of the time
With our family by the fireside
Said we'd give it a try
The loneliness and dark times
The feeling we′re apart
Those times we wouldn't talk about it
Now we're countin′ the cost

Didn′t I do what you wanted?
Didn't I do, ooh, give it to you?
Those things you needed, didn′t I do?

Who can say how many hours
We'll be sharing in this house?
You can climb some ivory tower
Or the front steps to your life
Grey streaks of imperfection
The deep and creased-in lines
The physical inspection you put me through
Is it proof that I tried?

Ooh, what you wanted
Ooh, those things you needed
Ooh, open your eyes

Didn′t I do what you wanted?
Didn't I do, give it to you?
Open your eyes
Didn′t I do? Nothin' but time
