If I Could Tell You Songtext

von Jimmy Somerville

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 leavers 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 go,
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.
