Mauden - Told You So

Time will say nothing but I told you so
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know
If we should weep when clowns put on their show
If we should stumble when musicians play
Time will say nothing but I told you so

There are no fortunes to be told, although
Because I love you more than I can say
If I could tell you I would let you know

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so

Perhaps the roses really want to grow
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know

Suppose the lions all get up and
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know
