Time Brings Lyrics - Great Big Sea - Great Big Sea

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
