Time Loves A Hero Lyrics - Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat

Well they say that time loves a hero 

But only time will tell 

If he's real he's a legend from heaven 

If he ain't he was sent here from hell 

Hear me well 

Seeing ain't always believing 

Just make sure it's the truth that you're seeing 

Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie 

They can be real deceiving 

I got an uncle in Puerto Rico 

Spends his days in the sun 

And his nights in the casinos 

He left the States many years ago 

Took a fishing boat to Puerto Rico 

Now my aunt she is sad and lonely 

She'll never know that she drove him away 

As a coward I admire his courageous ways

Well they say that time loves a hero 

But only time will tell 

If he's real he's a legend from heaven 

If he ain't he's a mouthpiece from hell 

Some say my uncle that he's a zero 

His life as a shell, he left it back at Stateside 

I'd say he's doing well without his shell 

Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico 

The beauty of the sunrise and sunset 

To his friends he wish he could tell 

They're at home still running for bells 

Better San Juan than that blue collar hell
