Time Has Told Me Lyrics - Five Leaves Left - Nick Drake

Time has told me 

You're a rare, rare find 

A troubled cure 

For a troubled mind 

And time has told me 

Not to ask for more 

For someday our ocean 

Will find its shore 

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be 

What I really don't want to be 

Leave the ways that are making me love 

What I really don't want to love 

Time has told me 

You came with the dawn 

A soul with no footprint 

A rose with no thorn 

Your tears they tell me 

There's really no way 

Of ending your troubles 

With things you can say 

And time will tell you 

To stay by my side no, no 

To keep on trying 

Till there's no more to hide 

So leave the ways that are making you be 

What you really don't want to be 

Leave the ways that are making you love 

What you really don't want to love 

Time has told me 

You're a rare, rare find 

A troubled cure 

For a troubled mind 

And time has told me 

Not to ask for more 

For some day our ocean 

Will find its shore
