Time Brings

Great Big Sea

Intro: C   Dm   G   C   (2x)

1. Hearken to me both high and low
   I`ll sing for you a song
   Of Kngs and Queens and rose-lipped maidens
   Courting light foot lads
   
2. Now love is grand when love is new
   The heart blood it runs stong
   There`s nothing a doting lad won`t do
   To keep his princess warm
   
3. 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-sweat romance

R: 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


4. But he goes out with his drinken pals
   His eyes bagan to rove
   He forgets all about the brown-eyed beauty
   Who now sits home alone
   
5. 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

R: For time it comes...

6. Now all who wish for love to stay
   And last your whole life through
   Keep ahead of time me boys
   And never be untrue

R: For time it comes...
