Time Songtext
von Richard Hell & the Voidoids

Time and time again I knew what I was doing
And time and time again it just made things worse
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
You′re stepping into your hurts

Only time can write a song that's really really real
The best a man can say is how it′s played on him to steal
And though he only knows as much as time to him reveals


And when I want to write a song it says it all at once
Like time sublimely silences the wise
I know that if I try I'm gonna take a fall at once
And splatter there between my lies

Only time can write a song that's really really real
The best a man can say is how it′s played on him to steal
And though he only knows as much as time to him reveals

We are made of it and if we give submission
Among our chances there′s a chance we can choose
And if uncertainty will give us that permission
Then it's impossible to lose

Only time can write a song that′s really really real
The best a man can say is how it's played on him to steal
And though he only knows as much as time to him reveals
