Time Brings

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]
