Only Time Will Tell

(A song I wrote whilst with the band Outlander)

 

I sit in cold shop doorways
While watching people walk by
I haven't got any money
Got nobody by my side
Desperate for compassion
To help me pull on through
That's when our eyes first met
And I fell in love with you

You saw me in that doorway
Sitting all alone
I think you must have pitied me
When you invited me back home
And I followed you willingly
Happy to have made a friend
And if you'll only love me
I will stay until the end

 

Only time will tell
If you will have me
Only time will tell
If love is gonna be
Only time will tell

 

Well you fell for me baby
And our love was born
And nothing really matters
When we're in each other's arms
I'll tell you true my angel
They'll be no other for me
And we'll go on forever
On through eternity

​

Love doesn't always run smoothly
And hearts get pierced by thorns
Together we can ride out
Pass through the eye of the storm
Yeah we'll laugh and we will cry
When things go right or wrong
And with this in mind baby
I sat down to write this song

 

Only time will tell
If you will have me
Only time will tell
If love is gonna be
Only time will tell

 

In years we will remember
That long far-off day
When our eyes first met
In that cold shop doorway
The time you took to pity me
And invited me back home
The love that has developed
And the love that's yet to come

 

Well you fell for me baby
And our love was born
And nothing really matters
When we're in each others arms
I'll tell you true my angel
They'll be no other for me
And we'll go on forever
On through eternity
