We sat in gilded rooms of fine old glass The light from candles dancing on the walls She sang me the songs she'd written in her sorrow And told me she'd be dead and gone tomorrow She learned to sing and paint in her own blood As it dripped upon the strings of her guitar She found a blade of steel in the silver flood And tore her friends and fingernails apart She thought perhaps that she would marry soon The lover who would set her heart on fire The one she chose under the waning moon She ground them down as every flame burned higher And it's only time will tell and time alone What is meant when all is set in stone Who will ride one day on the shining horse Who will win and who will stay the course He was the wrangler of some famous men He was the star of every stage he crossed He was the mountain he would have to move For he was never found and never lost They met when he was thirty years of age Letras de cancionesAlready at his peak and at a loss Joan of Arc had crossed his path so early And he had borne the dagger and the cross And it's only time will tell and time alone What is meant by all this skin and bone Who will ride off on the shining horse Who will win and who will stay the course He said, I'd really like to study love Taking both her hands between his own He heard the singing of the mourning dove And felt his soul was ready to atone The girl with hair of gold and heart of steel In time her past and future would begin She wept in caves and watched the turning wheel And lost as often as she failed to win And it's only time will tell and time alone What is meant by all is skin and bone Who will ride off on the shining horse Who will win and who will stay the course The man who wrote the poems of ash and blood All the saints were dancing to his rhymes He had the gift of purest, truest love He had the cure for each and every crime And it's only time will tell and time alone What is meant when all set in stone Who will ride off on the shining horse Who will win and will stay the course From Letras Mania
