Only Time Will Tell - John Cale

Only time will tell

If any mischief in our heart

Can cause the damage done

And put it right

Only time will tell

If the songs are in their places

Safe from undiscovered poison

Words and rhymes

The gentle pain of falling rain

I’ll hide behind to kill

Behind the frozen mask

And ask

If time will tell

Is it heaven or hell

Like Boadicea without a chariot

History of luck

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

Only time will tell
