Time Alone Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Oh, the grace that true love holds 

When hearts grow weary for time alone 

You give it room and the warm to hold 

And it'll always come home 

And true love is faithful all on it's own 

Hearts know when they should fly alone 

When the mind is rested and the heart's at ease 

Two loves can give to each other's needs 

Oh, the grace that true love holds 

When hearts grow weary for time alone 

You give it room and the warm to hold 

And it'll always come home 

And you can fool yourself and fool your dreams 

But you can't fool your heart and you can't fool me 

Love is a sailor sailing out to sea 

One of these days, you'll need the harbor in me
