W.H. Auden
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 go
And 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
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 go
And 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
